Gustav Heynhold

Gustav Egidius Heynhold , also Gustav Heinhold , (* ~ 1798 ; † May 25, 1862 Dresden ) was a Saxon , German botanist. The botanical author's abbreviation is " Heynh ".

Life

Heinhold had studied at the Medical and Surgical Academy in Dresden, but seems to have never worked as a doctor and was a private scholar in Dresden and lived from wealthy patrons of his work who gave him a pension and from selling plants (herbarium). Numerous initial descriptions or renaming come from him, for example the genus Arabidopsis . In 1828 he was in Trieste and published in the following year in the magazine Flora about the vegetation there. In 1838 he obtained the 3rd edition of the Flora der Umgebung von Dresden (first 1808) from Heinrich David August Ficinus , who was a pharmacist and professor at the veterinary school and was one of his academic teachers (another was Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach ), and wrote an own flora of Saxony with Friedrich Holl . With the Dresden art and trade gardener Traugott Jakob Seidel (1833–1896) he wrote a book about rhododendrons .

He published a directory of scientific names of garden plants (Nomenclator Botanicus Hortensis), for which he is best known. He was considered one of the best experts on hawkweed (Hieracium).

His herbarium is lost, only a small part is preserved in the herbarium of the TU Dresden.
