Life

Ignaz Friedrich Tausch was the son of a master brewer and attended the Piarist high school in Schlackenwerth . From 1809 he studied botany at the Charles University in Prague with a doctorate in 1812 and then medicine until 1818 without obtaining a degree. From 1815 to 1826 he was a professor at the Botanical Garden of Emmanuel von Canal in Prague, whose plants he cataloged, which he published in a richly illustrated book that is considered to be his main work (Hortus Canalius, 1823 to 1825). That ended with the Count's death in 1826 and Tausch lived from selling herbaria and dried plants.

Except in Bohemia, he collected in the Giant Mountains and worked on foreign plant collections from Franz Wilhelm Sieber .

He was a member of the Academy in Turin (1821) and the Bavarian Botanical Society. In 1843 he became secretary of the Bohemian Horticultural Society. He was also a member of the Bohemian Economic-Patriotic Society.
