A person who herborizes; someone who collects, studies, and catalogs plants and herbs, often for scientific or medicinal purposes.
From 'herborize' plus the suffix '-er' denoting an agent or person who performs an action. Emerged as a professional term during the botanical exploration movements of the 16th-18th centuries.
Famous herborizers like Joseph Banks (who sailed with Captain Cook) could identify and name hundreds of plants from memory, and their collections shaped entire museums and botanical gardens we visit today!
