Hermann Friedrich Teichmeyer

Hermann Friedrich Teichmeyer (30 April 1685 – 5 February 1746) was a German physician and botanist born in Hannoversch Münden.

The botanical genus Teichmeyeria (Scop., 1777) is likely named after him, although etymological information is lacking.

[2] Teichmeyer was a professor of experimental physics, medicine and botany at the University of Jena.

He was a pioneer of forensic medicine, being remembered for his 1723 publication of Institutiones medicinae legalis vel forensis, an important textbook on forensics that was later translated into German.
