HEINRICH WILHELM SCHOTT (1029 words)
Schott was uniquely qualified in this regard, having spent four years in Brazil collecting plants and with access to the large collection of living plants at the Imperial Gardens of the Hapsburg's at Schönbrun Palace in Vienna where he worked as the director.
Schott's final classification of Philodendron was published four years later in the `Prodromus Systematis Aroidearum' (1860), a more rigorous work that came to be his last comprehensive self- published work since he died at the age of 71 in 1865.
Schott used the term "subopposite stipule" for the feature which came to be known as the cataphyll in Engler's usage.
