Georg Rudolf Boehmer

Georg Rudolf Boehmer (German: Böhmer) (1 October 1723 – 4 April 1803) was a German botanist and physician born in Liegnitz.

He studied botany at the University of Leipzig under Christian Gottlieb Ludwig (1709–1773).

During his career he also had part-time duties as city physician (Stadtphysikus) in Wittenberg, later serving a similar function in Kemberg.

Among his publications was a five-volume work on natural history called Bibliotheca scriptorum historiae naturalis.

The plant genus Boehmeria from the family Urticaceae is named in his honor.
