Biographical History
Thomas Walter (ca. 1740-1788) was an early figure in American botany. Born in Hampshire, England, he immigrated to South Carolina in the 1760s and acquired a plantation on the Santee River in South Carolina, where he prepared his Flora Caroliniana, published in 1788. This publication used the Linnaeus' system of classification. He also had a herbarium which contained all of the specimens described in his book.
