Antoine Laurent de Jussieu (French pronunciation:[ɑ̃twanloʁɑ̃dəʒysjø]; 12 April 1748 – 17 September 1836) was a French botanist, notable as the first to publish a natural classification of flowering plants; much of his system remains in use today. His classification was based on an extended unpublished work by his uncle, the botanist Bernard de Jussieu.
