# Materia Medica lists medical plants for Swedish physicians

Date: 1749

## The fact

In 1749 [Carl Linnaeus](/people/carl-linnaeus) issued Materia Medica, listing plants as drugs for a Swedish medical public already hearing his Uppsala lectures. Humoral and empirical uses sit together. This page does not convert it into evidence-based medicine. It is a physician-botanist’s office, not a racial table.

## Context

Swedish medicine still ran on plants, minerals, and diet. The chair of 1741 is the office; this book is the portable drug list. Apothecaries shared uptake. Sharing does not erase the author. Do not treat later pharmacopoeias as this 1749 title.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## Evidence and sources

Uppsala University at https://www.uu.se/en is the official home of the medical chair that issued such teaching. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Carolus-Linnaeus independently treats Linnaeus as physician as well as classifier.

## Significance

Health-teaching path, modest weight. High confidence on the 1749 medical list.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Materia medica is not Systema’s racial page. Mixed effects of Materia Medica lists medical plants for Swedish physicians are separate paths.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a Linnaean Materia Medica belongs to this mid-century Uppsala teaching. Not established: a unique mortality change from the list. Contribution is recorded as He authored the medical-plant list as Uppsala professor. Apothecaries and students used it. The impact note is A public materia medica is a health-capacity teaching instrument, not a clinical trial. The dated heading stays Materia Medica lists medical plants for Swedish physicians on 1749-01-01, not a later statue, UNESCO listing, or school film. Printers, unnamed clerks, and later editors may appear in the same file without becoming this instrument. Later competitions, monuments, and adaptations are refused as extra lifetime acts of this person on this date. Bound 1 for linnaeus-materia-medica-1749: the instrument remains Materia Medica lists medical plants for Swedish physicians (1749-01-01), with official locator https://www.uu.se/en and independent locator https://www.britannica.com/biography/Carolus-Linnaeus, not a later museum door or a translated schoolbook treated as this act.

Shared responsibility is part of Materia Medica lists medical plants for Swedish physicians. Naming Carl Linnaeus does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1749-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

The contribution type is direct. The attached driver is health-system-capacity. The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
