Michel Adanson, an esteemed 18th-century French botanist and naturalist, made significant contributions to the field of taxonomy. His pivotal journey to Senegal allowed him to conduct extensive research on the region’s diverse flora and fauna. Adanson proposed a distinctive “natural system” of taxonomy, which contrasted with the popular binomial system by Linnaeus. His work remains highly regarded and influential in the scientific community.
