2. Botanical notions
As explained above, floral waters and hydrolats are natural extracts obtained by precise methods from pure, botanically-identified plants.
It is therefore important to be able to identify extracted plants unambiguously. To this end, botanists have developed a nomenclature, which has now become international, based on a comparative analysis of the morphological characteristics of species. Initiated by the Swedish botanist Carl von Linné (1707-1778), the father of taxonomy, it is made up of rules set out in the ICBN (International Code of Botanical Nomenclature) established in 1867
