Biography
German botanist and mycologist. Johann Friedrich Klotzsch, who trained in pharmacy and botany in Berlin, was curator of W.J. Hooker's herbarium at Glasgow University from 1830 until1832. He later returned to Germany, where he succeeded Adelbert von Chamisso as a curator of the Royal Herbarium, Berlin. He studied many groups of plants, but is perhaps best known as a student of ferns.
