Carl Heinrich 'Bipontinus' Schultz
Tombstone in Deidesheim
Carl Heinrich Schultz (June 30, 1805 – December 17, 1867) was a German physician and botanist, and a brother to Friedrich Wilhelm Schultz (1804–1876).
He is referred to as Carl Heinrich 'Bipontinus' Schultz, Carl Heinrich Schultz Bipontinus or just Bipontinus, this being a Latinized reference to his birthplace Zweibrücken (Two Bridges). This was necessary because there lived in his lifetime another German botanist of the same name, known as Carl Heinrich 'Schultzenstein' Schultz.
In 1840, Schultz along with 25 scholars from the Palatinate and neighboring areas founded POLLICHIA, a scientific society named in honor of botanist Johan Adam Pollich (1740-1780). Schultz died in Deidesheim on December 17, 1867.
