Johans Linder (1678 - March 24, 1724) was a Swedish botanist and doctor who was later ennobled as Lindestolpe. [1] He wrote a book about natural dyes and their sources including plants, insects, and minerals. [2]

He was born 1676 in Karlstad, Sweden and went to university in Uppsala with his first thesis titled De pomis hesperidum ("On the Apple of the Hesperides") in 1702. [1] He defended a second thesis in 1705 titled De Foeda lue venerea dicta translated in 1713 into Swedish as Tankar om then smittosamma sjukom franzoser ("Thoughts about the very infectious French disease syphilis"). [1] He encouraged other doctors to aid those inflicted with syphilis, rather than embarrass then with "moral preaching", although at the time there was little they could do to help. [3]

He was appointed a member of the Medical College in 1719 the same year he was ennobled as Lindestolpe. [1]

The genus Lindera , spicebush, is named for him, dedicated to him by Carl Peter Thunberg in 1783. [1] [4]

Linder married twice, first to Anna Öhrner and then to Eva Christina Cronhielm in 1720. [1] He died March 24, 1724 in Stockholm. [1]
