For George Clifford (1685–1760), Dutch merchant and banker, amateur botanist and zoologist.

The result was Linnaeus’s 530-page book Hortus Cliffortianus (1738), his first important work, in which he described many species from Clifford’s garden. The publication was paid for by George Clifford as a private edition.
