Theophrastus (370-285 B.C.), a student of Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle, was one of the first writers of plant description. His work with plants earned him the title "Father of botany." Altogether, Theophrastus wrote about five hundred different kinds of plants which he classified into four groups: trees, shrubs, sub-shrubs, and herbs. He also noted differences in plant tissues and between flowering and nonflowering plants.

Botany is a natural science because it deals with plants which are natural and not manufactured by humans. In the Dewey Decimal System, it is in the 500s, rather than gardening and agriculture which are an applied science in the 600s. The father of botany was Theophrastus.

Theophrastus was born in 370 B.C. and was a student of Aristotle, who bequeathed to Theophrastus his writings, and designated him as his successor at his School. He was a scholar, botanist, biologist, and physicist. The most important of his books are two large botanical treatises, Enquiry into Plants, and On the Causes of Plants, which constitute the first systemization of the botanical world and were major sources for botanical knowledge during antiquity and the Middle Ages. On the strength of these works some call him the "father of botany."
