Petrus Houttuyn (18 June 1648, Amsterdam – 10 January 1709, Leiden), often cited as Peter Hotton, was a Dutch botanist and medical professor of medicine and botany at Leiden University. As professor of botany, he was ex officio supervisor of the university’s botanic garden and was given an official residence and an allowance for foreign correspondence and the exchange of seeds and plants. He studied medicine in Leiden, obtaining his doctor's degree in 1672. In 1695 he succeeded Paul Hermann as professor of botany at the University of Leiden. Houttuyn was a member of the Leopoldina and of the Royal Society of London.〔(The Botany of the Commelins ) by D.O. Wijnands〕 He was succeeded by Herman Boerhaave. The genus ''Hottonia'' (family Primulaceae) is named in his honor.〔(An illustrated flora of the northern United States, Canada ) by Nathaniel Lord Britton, Addison Brown〕 == Selected works == * "Positiones quaedam medicae", 1672. * "Sermo academicus quo rei herbariae historia et fata adumbrantur", 1695. * "Brief van Petrus Hotton (1648-1709)", 1704. * "Bibliotheca Hottoniana: sive Catalogus Librorum", 1709.〔(WorldCat Identites ) Most widely held works by Petrus Hotton〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Petrus Houttuyn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
