Moritz Balthasar Borkhausen
Moritz Balthasar Borkhausen (3 December 1760, Giessen – 30 November 1806, Darmstadt) was a German naturalist and forester. He took part in the production of Teutsche Ornithologie oder Naturgeschichte aller Vögel Teutschlands in naturgetreuen Abbildungen und Beschreibungen by Johann Conrad Susemihl.[1]
He received his education in Giessen, and in 1796 started work as an assessor at the forestry office in Darmstadt. In 1800 he attained the title of Kammerrat, followed by a role as counselor at the Oberforsthaus Collegium in 1804.[2][3]
As a botanist, he was the taxonomic author of Alliaceae and Asclepiadaceae as well as the circumscriber of numerous plant genera and species.[4]
