What is Stephan Endlicher known for in botany?

I am known for my significant contributions to plant taxonomy, particularly my development of a natural system of classification. My work, such as in 'Genera plantarum secundum ordines naturales disposita,' aimed to group plants based on their inherent, shared characteristics, moving beyond purely artificial systems. This approach sought to reveal the underlying relationships and, I believe, the evolutionary lineage of plant groups.
