Encyclopedia > Jonas C. Dryander

Jonas Carlsson Dryander (March 5, 1748 - October 19, 1810) was a Swedish botanist.


Dryander was born in Gothenburg. He was a pupil of Carolus Linnaeus at Uppsala University. He arrived in London on 10 July 1777. He was botanist/librarian to Sir Joseph Banks from 1782 (following the death of Daniel Solander), librarian of the Royal Society and Vice-President of the Linnean Society.


Dryander's publications included Catalogus bibliothecae historico-naturalis Joseph Banksi (1796-1800).

Robert Brown (botanist) at AllExperts (470 words)
Robert Brown (December 21, 1773–June 10, 1858) is acknowledged as the leading British botanist to collect in Australia during the first half of the 19th century.
That year, he succeeded Jonas C. Dryander as Sir Joseph Banks' librarian, and on Banks' death in 1820 inherited his library and herbarium.
This was transferred to the British Museum in 1827, and Brown was appointed Keeper of the Banksian Botanical Collection.
