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