Biography
Czech gardener and plant collector from Neuhaus in Bohemia. He collected with F.W. Sieber (1817-1818) in Crete, Palaestine and together they made African collections in Egypt. Sieber paid for him to collect in Martinique (1819-1821) and later distributed the Kohaut material as Herbarium Martinicense. The final expedition collecting for Sieber was to Senegal (1822) with another gardener, Andreas Döllinger, but Kohaut died before the completion of the expedition. The genus Kohautia Cham. & Schlecht in the Rubiaceae was named in his honour.
