Vincenzo de Cesati

Vincenzo de Cesati (1806–1883) was an Italian botanist from Milan.

He studied natural history and law at the University of Vienna, and afterwards worked as a volunteer at the Collegium Nacionale de Vercelli. From 1868 to 1883 he was director of the botanical garden at Naples. The majority of his plant collection is now preserved at the botanical institute of the University of Rome.

The plant genus Cesatia from the family Apiaceae is named after him.

Works

With Giovanni Passerini (1816-1893) and Giuseppe Gibelli (1831-1898), he was author of "Compendio della flora italiana", a compendium of Italian flora.[1] Other works by Cesati include:

  • Stirpes Italicae: iconografia universale delle piante italiane (Pyrole, Milan, 1840)
  • Saggio di una bibliografia algologica italiana (Accademia reale delle Scienze, Naples, 1882)
gollark: Though admittedly in my game running the ME system alone costs 600RF/t.
gollark: It's amazing how easy it is to *not* waste millions of RF/t somehow.
gollark: The large and small whiteish towers actually have basically nothing in them now.
gollark: My crazily convoluted base so far.
gollark: I'll make an AE2 one if I figure out the fundamental problem of "where in the base does this go?"
