Bernhard Adalbert Emil Koehne
Bernhard Adalbert Emil Koehne was a German botanist and dendrologist born near Striegau, a town known today as Strzegom, Poland.
Koehne was a professor of botany in Berlin and was a leading authority of the plant family Lythraceae. In Adolf Engler's treatise Das Pflanzenreich, he was author of the chapter on Lythraceae. He also made important contributions involving Lythraceae to Engler and Karl Prantl's Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien, as well as to Karl Friedrich Philipp von Martius' Flora Brasiliensis.
Another noted written effort by Koehne was the 1893 Deutsche Dendrologie. The plant genus Koehneola is named in his honor.
