The article is devoted to Joannes Kisling, professor of philosophy in Prague – Clementinum, Jesuit university. He dealt with disciplines that were not usually a focus of Jesuit science. Though he propagated natural sciences he was a resolute exponent of the opinion that the sciences are to be interpreted the basis of Aristotelian philosophy. The article follows up a botanical part of his work on planets and plants (pun in Latin – and the same in English: de plantis et planetis).
