As a plant collector and early systematic botanist, John Clayton occupies a key position in the eighteenth-century international botanical circle. His chief monument is the Flora Virginica, published in Leiden in 1739 and 1762. Compiled by J. F. Gronovius from plants and descriptions supplied by Clayton, it is the first important North American flora and the only one devoted solely to Virginia.
Originally published in 1963.
