Johannes Gottfried Hallier
Johannes (Hans) Gottfried Hallier (6 July 1868 – 10 March 1932) was a German botanist who was a native of Jena.
He studied botany and zoology at the University of Jena under Christian Ernst Stahl (1848–1919) and Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919), and continued his studies at the University of Munich under Ludwig Radlkofer (1829–1927) and Richard Hertwig (1850–1937). From 1893 until 1897 he worked at the Buitenzorg Botanical Garden on Java, and afterwards became an assistant at the Botanical Institute at the University of Munich. In 1894 Hallier became the second European to climb Mount Kelam (after a certain Dr. Gürtler) and the first to collect specimens of the pitcher plant Nepenthes clipeata.[1] He ascended the summit 5 times between January 30 and February 13 of that year.[2] Beginning in 1898 Hallier worked at the Botanical Museum in Hamburg. He died on March 10, 1932 in Oegstgeest, Netherlands.
From 1903-04 he took part in a scientific expedition to India, Ceylon and the Malay Archipelago. He published several works on the botany of the Dutch East Indies, including treatises on the flora of Borneo. From 1908 to 1922, Hallier was a curator at the Rijksherbarium in Leiden. He is remembered today for introducing a phylogenetic classification of flowering plants that is known as the "Hallier system".
