For Petrus (Peter, Pierre) Nylandt, (c 1635–1710) Dutch botanist, pharmacist and physician. A prolific author, he published some 50 works on a wide range of topics such a bee-trafficking, garden design, what to do with garden produce, etc., mainly in Dutch between 1670 and 1710, many of the publications with co-authors. His major works are considered to be Herbarius Belgicus (1670), which was the first record of the flora of the Low Countries – mainly Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg – and also of De Nederlandtse Herbarius of Kruydt-boeck (1682), which not only describes all medicinal plants and herbs growing wild or cultivated in the Netherlands, but also the imported dried herbs found at chemists.
