Etymology of Lindernia:
For Franz Balthazar von Lindern (1682–1755), German physician, author and botanist. He studied from 1700 in Strasbourg, then in Halle, Leipzig, Wittenberg, Erfurt, and Jena, obtaining a PhD in 1708. Thereafter he taught botany, chemistry and pharmacology at the University of Strasbourg medical faculty. He authored a work on venereal disease entitled Venus Krankheiten (Venus Diseases) (1728) in German (rather than in Latin, to ensure it could reach less-educated citizens) and the two-volume Medicinisch Passe-partou (Master Key to Common Diseases) (1739/1741). He was also an avid botanist and director of the botanical garden in Strasbourg, publishing a book on the flora of Alsace called Tournefortius Alsaticus (1728) containing 920 plants, renamed Hortus Alsaticus in 1747.
