Pl. [Linnaeus] 2: 634. 1753 [1 Mai 1753] %Sp. Pl. [Linnaeus]%2: 634%Eponymy: Jean Ruelle, after whom this genus has been named, was a French Botanist, born at Soissons in 1474, and died in 1537. He was at one time physician to Francis I., but afterwards abandoned medicine, and became a priest. In 1529, he published a good translation of Dioscorides; and in 1536, a work, Dc Natura Stirpium, which is chiefly remarkable as the first attempt to reduce into order the nomenclature of Botany; it was, in fact, the first introduction to Botany : that by Fuchsius, his contemporary, to his Historia Stirpium, in 1542, was the second.
