Heinrich Gustav Flörke
Heinrich Gustav Flörke (24 December 1764, in Altenkalden in Mecklenburg – 11 June 1835) was a German botanist and lichenologist known for his detailed studies of lichens, particularly within the genus ''Cladonia''. A professor of natural history at the University of Rostock, Flörke contributed to early systematic and floristic research, publishing extensive annotated collections of dried herbarium specimens known as exsiccatae. He continued editing Johann Georg Krünitz's influential ''Oekonomische Encyklopädie'' after Krünitz's death, although his tenure was marred by controversy due to disputes with publisher Louise Pauli and accusations of damaging valuable reference materials. Despite these controversies, Flörke's collections and scholarly exchanges, particularly with Erik Acharius, had a lasting impact on lichenological research in Germany. Early life and education Flörke was born in Altenkalden in Mecklenburg (a historical region in northern Germany), in 1764. H ...

German Surname
Personal names in German-speaking Europe consist of one or several given names (''Vorname'', plural ''Vornamen'') and a surname (''Nachname, Familienname''). The ''Vorname'' is usually gender-specific. A name is usually cited in the "Name order, Western order" of "given name, surname". The most common exceptions are alphabetized list of surnames, e.g. "Johann Sebastian Bach, Bach, Johann Sebastian", as well as some official documents and spoken southern German dialects. In most of this, the German conventions parallel the naming conventions in most of Western and Central Europe, including English name, English, Dutch name, Dutch, Italian name, Italian, and French name, French. There are some vestiges of a patronymic system as they survive in parts of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, but these do not form part of the official name. Women traditionally adopted their husband's name upon marriage and would occasionally retain their maiden name by hyphenation, in a so-called ''Doppelna ...
