Friedrich Emmert (born September 18, 1802 , † August 15, 1868 ) was a German botanist and pastor. Its official botanical author abbreviation is " Emmert ".

Life

His main occupation was from 1829 pastor in Maroldsweisach and then from 1842 he held the pastoral position in the royal Protestant deanery in Zell near Schweinfurt and Weipoltshausen . In retirement in 1861 he moved to Schweinfurt and founded the scientific association there in 1862, of which he was the first chairman. In 1852 he published the Flora von Schweinfurt with his future son-in-law Gottfried von Segnitz . Both were accepted into the Leopoldina primarily because of this book. In addition to plants, lichens and mosses, he also collected minerals.

On January 1, 1852 he became a member (matriculation no. 1633) of the Leopoldina with the surname Fehr and in 1860 a member of the Natural Research Society in Bamberg. His herbarium with around 18,000 plants came (half from the Schweinfurt area, a quarter from the rest of Europe and the remainder from South America and Southeast Asia) to the city of Schweinfurt (city history museum in the old grammar school) via the natural science association Cataloged by Lenz Meierott in the 1990s .

He was an honorary member of the Free German Hochstift and the Zoological-Botanical Society Vienna .

His great uncle Johann Philipp Wolff was also a botanist and doctor.
