The first twenty-one names in Table I (above the line), i. e., 
from Aristotle to Camerarius inclusive, were the ones mentioned 
in the preliminary list as having been already suggested as worthy 
of a place on the frieze. It is quite possible that this suggestion 
unconsciously influenced somewhat the vote. 
Preliminary to a final vote the names in Table I were classified 
into five groups, as follows: (1) Systematists, (2) physiologists 
and ecologists, (3) anatomists and morphologists, (4) mycologists 
and plant pathologists, (5) paleobotanists. In some instances it 
was not easy to decide into which group a given name should be 
placed. This was the case especially with the men whose work 
was done in the years before intensive specialization. In such 
cases, the name was grouped on the basis of what was believed 
-5 be the man’s major work, or more exactly the work which 
aubsequent history indicated had exerted the greatest influence 
on the science. Here individual judgments would, of course, 
differ, but fortunately no voters interposed objections to any 
name included in the class for which they voted.
