The design of the totality was Darwin wrote ‘To enlist Imagination under the banner of Science . . . to induce the ingenious to cultivate the knowledge of botany . . . and recommending to their attention the immortal works of the celebrated Swedish naturalist—Linnaeus'" Dictionary of Scientific Biography.
