Etymology of Waltheria:
For Augustin Friedrich Walther (1688–1746), German anatomist, botanist, physician and academic. He obtained a philosophy degree from the University of Wittenburg and a medical doctorate from the University of Leipzig, where he became professor of anatomy (1728), pathology (1732), therapy (1737), and in the same year university rector. He was director of the Leipzig Botanical Gardens and owned his own private botanical garden. In his book, Designatio Plantarum quas Hortus AF Waltheri Complectitur (1735), he describes thousands of species from his garden. As a physician, he made many contributions in the fields of mycology and angiology (the study of the circulatory and lymphatic systems), and has several medical and anatomical terms named after him.
