Otto Kuntze

1843–1907

View full profile →

Otto Kuntze (1843–1907) was a German botanist and explorer, renowned for his ambitious, though often controversial, attempts to reform plant classification. He advocated for a more 'natural' system based on evolutionary principles and geographical distribution, clashing with the established taxonomic order of his time. His expeditions to South America and Africa provided him with extensive empirical data that fueled his reformist zeal.
