To botanize is to travel around the countryside in order to learn to recognize the plants that one has studied in school. M. Haller in Switzerland and M. de Jussieu in Paris, both great botanists, botanized and were followed by a crowd of young students. These useful excursions are called herborisations . It is also said of someone who travels around a region with the aim collecting the plants that it produces, that he botanizes . The late M. de Jussieu botanized in Spain and Portugal; M. de Tournefort botanized in Greece and Egypt.
