Carlo Allioni (23 September 1728 in Turin - 30 July 1804 in Turin) was an Italian physician and professor of botany at the University of Turin.[1] His most important work was Flora Pedemontana, sive enumeratio methodica stirpium indigenarum Pedemontii[citation needed] 1755, a study of the plant world in Piedmont, in which he listed 2813 species of plants, of which 237 were previously unknown.[citation needed] In 1766, he released the Manipulus Insectorum Tauriniensium.
He taught botany at the University of Berlin and was director of the Turin Botanical Garden.[citation needed]
Linnaeus named the New World herb genus Allionia after Allioni.[citation needed]
