For Otto Warburg (1859–1938), German botanist and industrial agriculture expert. He graduated from Strasbourg University (1883), travelled in south and Southeast Asia from 1885–1889, and collected plant specimens, which he later donated to the Royal Botanical Museum in Berlin. He published his findings in Die Pflanzenwelt (three volumes). He founded and edited a journal, Der Tropenpflanzer, for 24 years. He became interested in economic botany, specialising in tropical agriculture, and started several companies, working in the colonies of the Deutsches Reich. In his later years, he became an active member of the World Zionist Organisation, and became its president between 1911 and 1920. He founded the botanical garden of the Hebrew University on Mount Scopus.
