Excerpt from Significance of Pre-1753 Botanical Explorations in Temperate North America on Linnaeus' First Edition of Species Plantarum

Collectors to temperate North America came only a few years after those that visited the more tropical regions. Early French explorers gather ed plants and sent seeds and fruits back to France where they were soon flourishing in the gardens. Many of these species were gathered in what is today southeastern Canada. There was a desire on the part of the French to introduce plants not only of medicinal but of potential horticultural value as well. Many temperate conifers and hardwoods were ideally suited to the French climate and quickly were adop ted, unlike the more tropical species.
