Bénédict Pierre Georges Hochreutiner (1873-1959) was a Swiss botanist and plant taxonomist. [1]
A native of Saint-Gall, he studied theology and natural sciences in Geneva. [2] In 1896 he was an assistant to John Isaac Briquet at the Conservatoire et Jardin Botaniques at Geneva. In 1901 he made a scientific trip to Algeria, and in 1903–05 was associated with the botanic gardens ( herbarium) at Buitenzorg in the Dutch East Indies. In 1906 he was named curator of the Conservatoire et Jardin Botaniques, where in 1931 he was appointed director. In 1919 he became a professor of botany. [3] [4]
As a taxonomist, he circumscribed many botanical species. [5] The genus Hochreutinera is named after him, [4] as are taxa with specific epithet of hochreutineri. [6] Among his numerous written works was a monograph on the plant family Malvaceae. [7]
