Cape Tournefort
25.4.1802. Baudin. Named after Joseph Pitton de Tournefort, French botanist (1656-1708). Initially trained in divinity studies, Tournefort arranged the petaliferous plants into classes based on the form of the corolla, then into families based on the position of the corolla, and finally into genera as defined by the character of the fruit and seed. His system, as outlined in Élémens (Paris, 1694) and Institutiones Rei Herbariae (Paris, 1700), provided a standard throughout Europe until displaced by those of Linnaeus (ca.1760) and Jussieu (ca.1780).
