In 1893, Charles Barnes (1858–1910) proposed that the biological process for ‘synthesis of complex carbon com-pounds out of carbonic acid, in the presence of chlorophyll, under the influence of light ’ should be designated as either ‘photosyntax ’ or ‘photosynthesis. ’ He preferred the word ‘photosy...
