Job Baster

Job Baster

Job Baster (Zierikzee, 2 April 1711 - 6 March 1775) was a Dutch botanist. He devoted himself almost entirely to the study of natural history, particularly botany. He studied and took his degree of doctor of medicine at Leiden in 1731, and Albrecht von Haller has thought his thesis, "De Osteogenia", worthy of a place in his collection. In 1737 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society in London. In 1759 he published at Haarlem "Natuurlyke uytspanningen behelzende eenige Waarnemingen over sommige zee planten en zee insecten" (Natural accounts about some observations of some marine plants and insects). He also contributed papers to the Verhandelingen der Holland, to the Philosophical Transactions, and to the Acts of the Academy of the Curious in Nature. His name was affixed to several genera of plants, by different professors celebrated for their botanical knowledge.
