Life & Legacy

Carl Heinrich Schultz (30 June 1805, Zweibrücken – 17 December 1867) was a German physician and botanist, and a brother to botanist 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.
