Giulio Pontedera

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giulio Pontedera (1688–1757) was an Italian botanist. He was professor of botany at Padua, and director of the botanical garden there. Although he rejected Carolus Linnaeus' system, Linnaeus was a correspondent of Pontedera's, and named the genus Pontederia after him.
