Anton Heimerl

Anton Heimerl (15 February 1857, Budapest - 4 March 1943) was an Austrian botanist.

Heimerl specialized in research of the plant family Nyctaginaceae,[1][2] and was the binomial authority of many botanical species.[3] He was author of the sections on Nyctaginaceae, Phytolaccaceae and Achatocarpaceae in Engler & Prantl's "Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien" (Volume 16, 1934).[4][5][6]

In 1903 the genus Heimerlia was named after him by Franz Xaver Rudolf von Höhnel, and in 1941 Carl Skottsberg named the genus Heimerliodendron in his honor.[7][8]
