Heinrich Bernhard Ruppius
Heinrich Bernhard Rupp (or Ruppius) (born 22 August 1688 in Giessen, died 7 March 1719 in Jena) was a German botanist.
He first studied Medicine in 1704 and met then Johann Jacob Dillenius (1684-1747). He first studied in Iena in 1711, then in Leiden in 1712 then back in Jena in 1713.
Rupp wrote a flora about plants around Jena and part of Thuringia. He published the two first parts but his work is finished after his death by Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777). Carl von Linné (1707-1778) gave tribute to him with the creation of the genus Ruppia of the family Ruppiaceae.

gollark: Mr W[REDACTED], the other one, and the other other one?
gollark: No, it's three.
gollark: No, we have three of them, only *one* is.
gollark: I wonder what causes that. As an entirely anecdotal example, the sixth form computer science class I'm going into next year has something like 11 people, all male.
