John Harshberger coined the term ethnobotany in the 1890s. However, studies of useful plants go back to the ancient Greeks, so it would be hard to pinpoint any one person as having founded the discipline. Richard Evans Schultes was probably the most influential ethnobotanist in the latter half of the 20th century, and trained many of the ethnobotanists working today.
