Who was John Hope?
John Hope FRSE FRS PRCPE was a Scottish physician and botanist. He is best known as an early supporter of Carl Linnaeus's system of classification, largely because he published very little of the research that might have made him a name in plant physiology.
The genus Hopea is named after Hope.
He served as president of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, 1784-6.
