Izabela Textorisová

Izabela Textorisová (16 March 1866, in Ratková – 12 September 1949, in Krupina) was Slovakia's first female botanist. Her copious herbarium is still today a valuable source for botanists. She described more than a hundred new plants in the Turiec region. In 1893 she discovered a new species of thistle, later named Carduus textorisianus Marg. in her honor.

  4. "Izabela Textorisová - Portrait and Work". In botany she became a renowned and acknowledged expert, particularly in the flora of Turiec. She collected and classified plants, and exchanged specimens with many leading authorities. Her copious herbarium, now deposited with the botany department of Comenius University in Bratislava, is still today, as in the past, a source for botanists of the highest rank. In 1913 she published the results of her work in the journal Botanikai Kozeményiek under the title "Flora Data from the County of Turiec", setting out more than a hundred plants whose presence in Turiec had previously passed unrecorded.
