‘We all know that the term thistle is applied to a variety of plants; nevertheless, he would be a careless botanist, indeed, who contented himself with the general description of a thistle; who only exhibit the marks by which the class was identified; who neglected the proper and peculiar signs of the species, and who overlooked the characters by which they were distinguished from each other. On the same principle, it is not enough for a writer to merely note down the common phenomena of some multiform disease... ’ Thomas Sydenham (1624–1689) [1]
