Adalbert Schnizlein

Adalbert Carl Friedrich Hellwig Conrad Schnizlein (15 April 1814, Feuchtwangen – 24 October 1868, Erlangen) was a German botanist and pharmacist.

He is largely remembered for his work in the fields of plant taxonomy and phytogeography.

He received training in pharmacy at Ansbach, afterwards becoming an assistant pharmacist in Nördlingen (1833).

[2] His most extensive work, "Iconographia familiarum naturalium regni vegetabilis" (1843–1870), was issued in four volumes.

A taxonomic representation of the plant kingdom, it contained 399 copper plates, and in its time, was considered to be a major work in systematics.
