Volker Heinrich
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Volker B. Heinrich is a German naturalist.
He studied horticultural sciences at the Technical University of Munich. A self-confessed "nepenthophile", he is a carnivorous plant enthusiast.
Heinrich has settled in the Philippines with his wife and family and operates the largest dedicated carnivorous plant nursery of the Philippines - the Pitcher Plant Farm. His interest in Nepenthes and his knowledge of possible pitcher plant sites have made him a regular member of expeditions in the country in recent years. He is the co-discoverer and co-describer of several new Nepenthes species, including N. attenboroughii,[1] N. hamiguitanensis,[2] and N. micramphora.[3]
The standard author abbreviation V.B.Heinrich is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.[4]
