Biography
German-born bryologist in Minnesota. John Michael Holzinger worked as professor of elementary science and botany at the State Teachers College in Winona, Minnesota, from 1882. Save for a brief period (1890-1893), during which he was employed by the US Department of Agriculture as an assistant botanist, he remained at that college until 1922. While with the USDA, Holzinger studied the phanerogamic plants of Texas and Colorado and published several papers on this topic. In general, however, he was concerned with the mosses of North America and produced a bryological exsiccatae entitled "Musci Acrocarpi Boreali-Americani". Later Holzinger collected mosses in the Rocky Mountains, in South Park, Pikes Peak, and the hills and canyons to the west of Denver (1896).
