Inquiring Minds Need to Know: part III.

[Deb Lewis]

Jim,

The following information is for Philip Jones, who sent an inquiry about
Rudolf Camerarius.

Dr. Isely included Camerarius in his "One Hundred and One Botanists".  The
essay is brief, and doesn't give many details of Camerarius' life, but is a
starting point.  He also cites two refs:

Magdefrau, K.  1978.  Camerarius.  In:  Dictionary of Scientific Biography.
Vol. 15, Supplement 1, pp. 67-68.
Morton, A.G.  1981.  Camerarius.  In: History of Botanical Science, pp.
213-220, 231.  Academic Press, London.

The complete Isely citation is:
Isely, D.  1994.  Rudolph Jakob Camerarius (Camerer).  In:  One Hundred and
One Botanists, pp. 74-76.  Iowa State University Press, Ames.

If Philip doesn't have any way to access these references, have him e-mail
me and I'll try to help further.
