Josef Aloys Frölich

Josef Aloys Frölich or Alois von Frölich (10 March 1766, Marktoberdorf 11 March 1841) was a German doctor, botanist and entomologist. He is not to be confused with Franz Anton Gottfried Frölich (1805–1878), his son, also an entomologist but specialising in Lepidoptera.

In the field of botany he described many species of the genus Hieracium.[1] The genus Froelichia (family Amaranthaceae) is named in his honor.[2]
