Regarded as the father of natural history in this country, Ray's most important work was in the classification of plants. His Synopsis Methodica Stirpium Britannicatum, 1692, was the first systematic description of English flora, and remained unsurpassed until the work of Linnaeus. Ray also wrote a history and classification of insects.
