Species Kaulfussia strigosa

For Georg Friedrich Kaulfuss (1786–1830), German botanist, bryologist and pteridologist, author and professor of botany and a professor at the University of Halle from 1823. In 1824 he published Enumeratio Filicium (A Detailed Listing of Ferns), a text based upon the travels and collections of Ludolf Karl Adelbert von Chamisso, who served as botanist on the Russian voyage of exploration on the Rurik led by Otto von Kotzebue. Chamisso collected some 165 ferns, of which 77 were new to science. Kaulfuss honoured Chamisso by naming a small tree fern collected in Hawaii in 1821 after him.
