Thomas Johnson (botanist)
Thomas Johnson (c.1600 – 1644) has been called "The Father of British Field Botany" but has been largely neglected, no doubt largely due to the very scanty records of his life which have survived. Such as there are, moreover, in any cases confuse rather than help the biographer, owing to the popularity of the name Thomas Johnson. He was probably born soon after 1600 and died in 1644.
