Heinrich Andres
Heinrich Andres (5 May 1883, Bengel – 11 August 1970, Bonn) was a German educator and botanist known for his investigations of Rhineland flora.[1]
Up until 1910 he was a schoolteacher in the town of Hetzhof, afterwards teaching classes in Bonn.[2] He was the taxonomic authority of the genera Monotropastrum and Monotropanthum as well as of numerous species within the plant family Ericaceae. In 1967 Hermann Otto Sleumer dedicated the genus Andresia in his honor.[3][4][5][6]
