Georg Heinrich Wilhelm Schimper in Amharic sources known as Sambar[note 1] (2 August 1804 ā October 1878) was a German botanist and naturalist who spent more than forty years in Ethiopia collecting specimens of plants, mainly in Semien, the Tekeze area and around Adwa. Schimper discovered more new African plant species than possibly any other botanist, and numerous plant species bear the epithet Schimperi/Schimperiana.[1]
