Paul Hermann Wilhelm Taubert

Paul Hermann Wilhelm Taubert (12 August 1862 1 January 1897]]) was a German botanist.

Taubert was born in Berlin, where he studied botany as a pupil of Ignatz Urban. While a student, he collected plants in Cyrenaica (1887). From 1889 to 1895 he was associated with the Botanical Museum in Berlin, working as a scientific assistant in 1893–95. Afterwards, he embarked on a botanical expedition to Brazil, where he conducted botanical investigations in the states of Pernambuco, Ceará, Piauí, Maranhão and Amazonas. He died in Manáos on 1 January 1897 (age 34).[1][2]

He was the taxonomic authority of many plant species. In 1893 Karl Moritz Schumann named the plant genus Taubertia (family Menispermaceae) in his honor.[1]

gollark: I'm also vaguely worried now... are you aiming to make an actual real-money profit off this? It seems that way what with the NDA thing.
gollark: Are you just going to disable the creator reward thing, make it actually take the money as fees on investments, or what?
