Etymology of Rothmannia:
For Jöran (Georg) Johansson Rothman (1739–1778), Swedish botanist, physician and Swedish translator. He was a student of Linnaeus who, in turn, had been a student of Jöran’s father, Dr Rothman, during Linnaeus’s senior school time in Växjö. Jöran Rothman obtained a BA (1757), MA (1761) and doctorate (1763) from the University of Uppsala. He was also a friend of Carl Peter Thunberg. He worked in Tunisia and Libya from 1773–1776, funded by the Swedish Royal Academy of Science to work. A lack of sufficient funds drove him to bankruptcy and forced his return to Stockholm, where he died shortly thereafter. His unpublished notes and diary, Resa till år Tripoli from 1773 to 1776, are housed in the Bergianska collections, Kungliga Vetenskaps Academies Stockholm. (He translated both Voltaire and Alexander Pope into Swedish.)
