Lorenz Scholz von Rosenau

Lorenz Scholz von Rosenau, also Laurentius Scholzius (20 September 1552 – 22 April 1599) was a German botanist and physician.

He and Schilling separated from the group in Milan and traveled to southern France, where he took his doctorate at the University of Valence.

In recognition of his successful efforts against the plague, he was elevated to the Bohemian peerage with the title "Scholz von Rosenau" in 1596.

To these contributions he added his own Aphorismorum medicinalium cum theoreticorum tum practicorum sectiones VIII of 1589, a reference work of the collected medical knowledge of his age.

As a botanist, Scholz was particularly interested the newly introduced exotic plants from Asia and Americas, which he cultivated from 1587 in prodigious quantities in his garden in Breslau.
