Joseph Gerhard Zuccarini

Joseph Gerhard Zuccarini was a German botanist, Professor of Botany at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. He worked extensively with Philipp Franz von Siebold, assisting in describing his collections from Japan, and he also described plants discovered in other areas, including Mexico. Siebold wrote his Flora Japonica in collaboration with Zuccarini. It first appeared in 1835, but the work was not completed until after his death, finished in 1870 by F. A. W. Miquel (1811–1871), director of the Rijksherbarium in Leiden.
