Johann Georg Christian Lehmann

Johann Georg Christian Lehmann (February 25, 1792 Haselau bei Uetersen, Holstein – February 12, 1860 Hamburg) was a German botanist.

Lehmann studied medicine in Copenhagen and Goettingen, obtained a doctorate in medicine in 1813 and a doctorate in philosophy from he University of Jena in 1814. He spent the rest of his life as professor of physics and natural sciences at the "Gymnasium Academicum" in Hamburg and its head librarian.

A prolific monographist of apparently quarrelsome character, he was a member of 26 learned societies and the founder of the Hamburg Botanical Garden. [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botanischer_Garten_Hamburg]

Some of Lehmann's later illustrations were executed by the German entomologist Johann Wilhelm Meigen
