Heinrich Zollinger
Heinrich Zollinger (22 March 1818 – 19 May 1859) was a Swiss botanist. Zollinger was born in Feuerthalen, Switzerland. From 1837 to 1838 he studied botany at the University of Geneva under Augustin and Alphonse Pyramus de Candolle, but had to interrupt his studies due to financial problems. In 1842 he moved to Java, working in a botanical garden, and on small government-financed scientific expeditions. He returned to Switzerland in 1848, but came back to Java in 1855 with his wife and two children. In 1857, he proposed recognizing Malesia as a distinct floristic region, an idea later taken up by Cornelius G.G.J. van Steenis. The species '' Clavaria zollingeri'' described scientifically by French mycologist Joseph-Henri Léveillé in 1846 was named after Heinrich Zollinger, who researched the genus '' Clavaria'', and collected the type specimen in Java. Zollinger died in Kandangan, a village located in the eastern part of Mount Bromo Tengger in East Java, Indonesia. C ...

Alexandre Moritzi
Alexander Moritzi (1806–1850) was a Swiss naturalist and early proponent of evolution. Moritzi born in Chur, Graubünden. His ''Réflexions sur l'espèce en histoire naturelle'', which means "Reflections on Species in Natural History," was published in 1842 and republished in 1934. This book, which contains many observations on animals and plants, advocated transmutation of species and is considered a forerunner of the theory of evolution developed by Charles Darwin. However, the book was ignored and did not make an impact like Darwin's. Snow dock was first discovered by Moritzi in 1836 in the Swiss Alps. In 1840, DC. ex Meisn. published '' Moritzia'' a genus of flowering plants from South America, belonging to the family Boraginaceae Boraginaceae, the Borago, borage or forget-me-not family, includes about 2,000 species of shrubs, trees, and herbs in 146 to 154 genus, genera with a worldwide distribution. The APG IV system from 2016 classifies the Boraginaceae as single fa ...
