Rudolf Raimann (botanist)

Rudolf Raimann (1863 – 5 December 1896 in Vienna) was an Austrian botanist.[1]

In 1889 he received his doctorate from the University of Vienna, where his influences included botanist Julius Wiesner. He worked as a volunteer in the department of botany at the Imperial Natural History Museum,[2] and for a period of time taught classes in natural history at the Handelsakademie (school of business and commerce) in Vienna.[3] The plant genus Raimannia (J.N. Rose ex N.L. Britton & A. Brown, 1913) of the family Onagraceae commemorates his name.[4][5]

Published works

He made contributions in regards to the section on Onagraceae in Engler and Prantl's Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien. A few of his other writings include:

gollark: Yes, I am aware that Islam has a large book.
gollark: Actually, does diminishing marginal utility apply to torture?
gollark: Infinity kilohitlers of evil, if it's *eternal* torture.
gollark: Yes, a god which does that is basically evil.
gollark: And the evidence for stuff which might back up afterlives, i.e... a god existing which behaves as the religions specifying afterlives say, I guess... is also weak.
