Short description: German botanist and clergyman
Johann Christoph Röhling (27 April 1757 – 19 December 1813) was a German botanist and clergyman who was a native of Gundernhausen, a town near Darmstadt.
He studied theology in Giessen, and later taught school in Frankfurt am Main. In 1792 he became a pastor in Braubach, and in 1800, a parish priest in Breckenheim.
Röhling was the author of "Deutschlands Flora", an important treatise on German flora, of which the first edition was published in 1796. He also published a work on mosses of Germany titled "Deutschlands Moose" (1800). He was the taxonomic authority of the plant genus Melandrium (family Caryophyllaceae).[1] The plant genus Roehlingia (family Dilleniaceae) was named after him by August Wilhelm Dennstedt.[2][3]
