Robert Brown (born December 21, 1773, Montrose, Angus, Scotland—died June 10, 1858, London, England) was a Scottish botanist best known for his descriptions of cell nuclei and of the continuous motion of minute particles in solution, which came to be called Brownian motion.
Robert Brown FRSE FRS FLS MWS (21 December 1773 – 10 June 1858) was a Scottish botanist and paleobotanist who made important contributions to botany largely through his pioneering use of the microscope.
Robert Brown, a botanist, collected, studied and classified thousands of plant flora he collected from the Flinders expedition to Australia in 1801 - 1805. He described Brownian motion, the movement of small particles in solution, which is named after him and he described and named the plant cell nuclei.

Robert Brown was a botanist from Scotland who was a pioneer in microscopy. He was among the first botanists to describe the nucleus of cells while he also discovered Brownian motion. He was also highly influential in paleobotany, the study of prehistoric plant life.
Robert Brown was a leading botanist in his era, very well respected for his excellence in science, and the naturalist on board the HMS Navigator on the historic Flinders voyage to Australia (New Holland) in 1801.
Robert Brown, a famous botanist from Scotland, was a pioneer in the field of microscopy. He was one of the first botanists to completely describe the nucleus of cells while he also observed Brownian motion. He was also very influential in ‘paleobotany’, the study of primitive plant life.
Dec 1, 2003 · Abstract. It was Robert Brown who brought botany into the mainstream of developmental biology, integrating plant physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology into a holistic view of plant growth. Robert's scientific legacy is not just what he himself accomplished but also what he inspired others to do.
Aug 6, 2004 · The Scottish botanist Robert Brown discovered it 180 years ago while studying orchids under a microscope. In his original paper, Brown called the novel cellular structure both an areola and a nucleus, but the latter name stuck. Now, as then, the organelle's complexity inspires awe.
Robert Brown In the early years of the 19th century, Brown was naturalist on the Investigator on the expedition to chart the coast of Australia; he collected thousands of specimens and later published the first systematic account of Australian flora.
