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 (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, 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.
Considered as the pioneer of the 'Brownian Motion', Robert Brown, who set out to be a doctor, soon discovered his love for botany, thus changing the course of his life. As a botanist, he excelled, developing a passion for cryptogams, more commonly known as mosses.
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 Scottish botanist who is best known for his discovery of the random movement of tiny particles in fluids or gases, now known as Brownian motion. He made significant contributions to the field of botany, largely due to his innovative use of the microscope.
May 29, 2018 · Robert Brown. Although Scottish botanist Robert Brown (1773-1858) was responsible for discovering the nucleus of a cell, he is perhaps best known for his discovery of the random movement of microscopic particles in a surrounding solution, later referred to as "Brownian motion." He also developed alternative plant classification systems.
Robert Brown (1773-1858), botanist, was born on 21 December 1773, the son of Rev. James Brown, an Episcopalian, and his wife Helen, née Taylor. He attended Montrose Academy, proceeded to Marischal College, Aberdeen, Scotland, as Ramsay scholar in 1787, moved with his family to Edinburgh in 1789 and studied medicine at the university.
