Emil Friedrich Knoblauch (2 December 1864, Groß Karnitten in Kreis Mohrungen – 10 February 1936) was a German botanist.
He studied at the University of Königsberg, obtaining his PhD in 1888. Later, he was associated with the botanical garden and museum in Göttingen. [1]
He identified numerous species within the family Oleaceae, and was the taxonomic authority of the genera Leuranthus and Noldeanthus . [2]
He was editor of the sections on Oleaceae and Salvadoraceae in Engler and Prantl's Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien . In Eugenius Warming's Handbuch der systematischen botanik (A handbook of systematic botany), he authored a revision of the "Fungi" section(s). Other noteworthy written efforts by Knoblauch include:
Oleaceae, also known as the olive family, is a taxonomic family of flowering shrubs, trees, and a few lianas in the order Lamiales. It presently comprises 28 genera, one of which is recently extinct. The extant genera include Cartrema, which was resurrected in 2012. The number of species in the Oleaceae is variously estimated in a wide range around 700. The flowers are often numerous and highly odoriferous. The family has a subcosmopolitan distribution, ranging from the subarctic to the southernmost parts of Africa, Australia, and South America. Notable members include olive, ash, jasmine, and several popular ornamental plants including privet, forsythia, fringetrees, and lilac.

Johannes Eugenius Bülow Warming, known as Eugen Warming, was a Danish botanist and a main founding figure of the scientific discipline of ecology. Warming wrote the first textbook (1895) on plant ecology, taught the first university course in ecology and gave the concept its meaning and content. Scholar R. J. Goodland wrote in 1975: “If one individual can be singled out to be honoured as the founder of ecology, Warming should gain precedence”.
Plant anatomy or Phytotomy is the general term for the study of the internal structure of plants. Originally it included plant morphology, the description of the physical form and external structure of plants, but since the mid-20th century plant anatomy has been considered a separate field referring only to internal plant structure. Plant anatomy is now frequently investigated at the cellular level, and often involves the sectioning of tissues and microscopy.
