Etymology of Halleria:
For Albrecht von Haller (1708–1777), Swiss botanist, physician, poet, experimental physiologist, professor of anatomy, surgery and botany at Göttingen (1736–1753) and founder of the Göttingen University herbarium. Haller studied under Herman Boerhaave at Leiden, gaining his MD in 1727. He wrote the poem Die Alpen while doing botanical research (1732), produced a major work on Swiss flora, Enumeratio Methodica Stirpium Helveticarum (A Methodical Enumeration of Swiss Plants) (1742) and wrote an eight-volume compendium of information on physiology, Elementa Physiologiae Corporis Humani (Physiological Elements of the Human Body) (1747–1766). His publications, numbering in the thousands, guided development in physiology for a century.
