Friedrich Richard Rudolf Schlechter (16 October 1872-16 November 1925) was a German taxonomist, botanist, and author of several works on orchids.
He explored Africa, Indonesia, New Guinea, South and Central America and Australia. As far as I know, my grandfather never went to the Americas. [1]
His vast herbarium was destroyed during the bombing of Berlin in 1945.
