Carl Sigismund Kunth (18 June 1788 – 22 March 1850), also Karl Sigismund Kunth or anglicized as Charles Sigismund Kunth, was a German botanist. He is known for being one of the first to study and categorise plants from the Americas, American continents, publishing ''Nova genera et species plantarum quas in peregrinatione ad plagam aequinoctialem orbis novi collegerunt Bonpland et Humboldt'' (7 vols., Paris, 1815–1825). Born in Leipzig, Kunth became a merchant's clerk in Berlin in 1806. After meeting Alexander von Humboldt, who helped him attend lectures at the University of Berlin, Kunth became interested in botany. Kunth worked as Humboldt's assistant in Paris from 1813 to 1819.

Mayaca Fluviatilis
''Mayaca fluviatilis'', also known as bog moss, is a perennial herbaceous submerged plant in the monogeneric family Mayacaceae. It is native to Central and South America, the Caribbean, and the United States where it is often sold as an aquarium plant. Through the aquatic plant trade, it has recently become naturalized in Sri Lanka, Singapore, and China. It has been identified in three locations in Australia ( Innisfail and Mossman in Queensland and Taree in New South Wales) but more populations are likely in other parts of Australia as well. Description The species was first described by the French botanist Jean Baptiste Christophore Fusée Aublet as ''La mayaque des rivieres'' in a tributary of the Sinnamary river in Guyana. ''Mayaca fluviatilis'' has soft thin leaves arranged in spirals on white or pale green stems which frequently grow up to one meter in length. Flowers grow on single stalks, 2 to 5 cm long, and are roughly 1 cm in diameter. The flowers of ''Mayaca flu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
