Jan Frederik GronoviusJan Frederik Gronovius (also seen as Johann Frederik and Johannes Fredericus) (1690-1762) was a Dutch botanist notable as a patron of Linnaeus. John Clayton, a plant collector in Virginia sent him many specimens in the 1730s, as well as a manuscript description. Without Clayton's knowledge, Gronovius used the material in his Flora Virginica (1739-1743, 2nd ed. 1762). In 1737 Gronovius described the Transvaal daisy, naming it Gerbera. His son Laurens Theodoor Gronovius was also a botanist. External link Grovonius, Jan Frederik Grovonius, Jan Frederik Grovonius, Jan Frederik Grovonius, Jan Frederik
