Reinhard Gustav Paul Knuth
Reinhard Gustav Paul Knuth (1874–1957) was a German taxonomist, botanist and pteridologist responsible for "''Initia florae venezuelensis''" in 1928, and numerous contributions to Adolf Engler's "''Das Pflanzenreich''" on Geraniaceae, Oxalidaceae, Lecythidaceae, and other families. He worked for more than 50 years at the Botanical Museum in Berlin-Dahlem. As part of his training in plant systematics he visited the herbaria at Kew, Brussels, Geneva, Paris and Utrecht. He was not only a botanist, but was well-versed in zoology, chemistry and geography. While his main interests in botany were systematics and phytogeography, he also ventured into other disciplines and in his final 30 years was working on problems in bacteriology and the growth of Ascomycetes, the source of antibiotics and yeast. His own extensive herbarium collection of some 26 000 specimens was lost when the Dahlem Botanical Museum was destroyed by bombing and fire on the nights of 1 and 2 March 1943. The catastro ...

The main stem, larger branches, and roots of these plants are usually covered by a layer of Bark (botany), bark. Wood is a structural cell (biology), tissue that allows woody plants to grow from above ground stems year after year, thus making some woody plants the largest and tallest terrestrial plants.
