Friedrich Wilhelm Gottlieb Rostkovius
Friedrich Wilhelm Gottlieb Theophil Rostkovius (1770–1848) was a German physician, mycologist and botanist.
In 1801 he received his doctorate from the University of Halle with the thesis Dissertatio Botanica Inauguralis De Iunco (treatise on rushes).[1] He later settled in Stettin as a medical practitioner.[2]
The plant genus Rostkovia from the family Juncaceae was named in his honor by Nicaise Auguste Desvaux (1784-1856).[3] His name is also associated with the species Euphrasia rostkoviana.[4]

gollark: Though to be realistic Latin it needs to end in `us` a lot but often be stupidly irregular for no reason.
gollark: We clearly just speak different Pig Latin dialects.
gollark: But who is this „oliver„¿
