Izabela Textorisová

Izabela Textorisová (16 March 1866, Ratková – 12 September 1949, Krupina) was Slovakia's first female botanist.

Her copious herbarium, stored at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Comenius University in Bratislava, is a valuable resource for botanists to this day.

In 1893, she discovered a new species of thistle, later named Carduus textorisianus Marg.

[1][2][3][4] In 2018, a documentary film about Textorisová's life, titled Rande s Belkou, was produced by CSTISR and broadcast by RTVS in 2020.
