Hermann Christ
(Redirected from Konrad H. Christ)
Konrad Hermann Heinrich Christ (12 December 1833, in Basel – 23 November 1933, in Riehen), often known in citations as just "Christ" or "H. Christ", was a Swiss botanist who specialized in pteridology (ferns).
He studied law at the universities of Basel and Berlin, receiving his doctorate at Basel in 1856. From 1869 to 1908 he worked as a lawyer and notary in Basel. In his spare time and during retirement he engaged in botanical pursuits, publishing over 300 works on topics such as plant geography, systematics and history of botany.[1][2]
The fern genus Christella is named in his honour.[3]
