Etymology of Kniphofia:
For Johann(es) Hieronymus Kniphof (1704–1763), German physician, lecturer, professor of medicine at the University of Erfurt (1737), becoming dean of the medical faculty (1747) and rector from 1661 until his death. Author of a folio of natureprinted illustrations of plants in 1733, followed by a significantly expanded second edition in 1747 and third edition in 1757–1759 containing 1 200 botanical images that were produced by a somewhat unique process, whereby dried plant specimens were coated with printer’s ink and pressed on paper, resulting in a silhouette effect. His book Botanica in Originali Seu Herbarium Vivum (1757–1764) was the first significant work to follow Linnaeus’s nomenclature.
