💚Plant Nerd: The Genus name of Bergenia honors German physician and botanist Karl August von Bergen (1704-1759). His best known writing was the great hit Flora Francofurtana of 1750, which meticulously inventoried the plants found around Frankfurt at that time, and is still available to this day. He also had a special interest in Rhinoceros.
