Caesalpinus, Andreas

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Caesalpinus, Andreas (ăn`drēəs sĕsălpī`nəs), Latinized from Andrea Cesalpino (ändrĕ`ä chāzälpē`nō), 1519–1603, Italian botanist and physiologist. He was physician to Pope Clement VIII. He described, in part and as a theory only, the circulation of blood. His chief botanical work, De plantis (1583), contains the first classification of plants according to their fruits, based on a comparative study of his large collection. Linnaeus considered him the first true systematist. He was at the Univ. of Pisa and founded its botanical garden.
