Was Olof Swartz's work criticized for being too descriptive?
Some might perceive my focus on detailed description as purely enumerative. However, these descriptions were not ends in themselves, but the very foundation for classification. Without precise and comprehensive accounts of a plant's features, any attempt at systematic arrangement would be speculative. The rigor of my observations was essential for building a reliable taxonomic framework.
