~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In his works he classified plants according to their fruits and seeds, rather than alphabetically or by medicinal properties. In 1555, he succeeded Luca Ghini as director of the botanic garden in Pisa. The botanist Pietro Castelli was one of his students. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Cesalpino also did limited work in the field of physiology. He theorized a circulation of the blood.
