Page "Anders Dahl" Paragraph 4

From an early age Dahl was interested in botany.

Anders Tidström, a disciple of pioneering botanist and taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus, met the nine year old Dahl during his second journey through Västergötlan in 1760, and mentions in his travel diary both young Anders ' interest in botany, and his collection of plants ( received from his uncle Anders Silvius, a chemist in Skara ).
