Pryon

(Source: Flora Malesiana ser. 1, 1: Cyclopaedia of collectors)

= Prayan or Prayon, Franciscus Albertus

career:

In Burman, Flora lndica (1768), he is cited many times as the collector of Java plants; in his introduction to this flora, Burman classifies him as one of the most excellent botanists. I have no data as to his having been himself in Java, so perhaps he obtained the plants from other collectors.

He is commemorated in the genus Pryonia Miq. (cf. Backer, Verkl. Woordenb., 1936).

collections:

In Herb. Burman = Deless. (Geneva [G]).
