Conrad Moench (sometimes written Konrad Mönch; 15 August 1744 – 6 January 1805) was a German botanist, professor of botany at Marburg University from 1786 until his death.
He wrote Methodus Plantas horti botanici et agri Marburgensis; in 1794, an arranged account of plants in the fields and gardens of Marburg. Largely in this work, and in a supplement published in 1802, Moench published over 1,500 original scientific names of plants, including about 150 genera. The genera include Bergenia, Echinacea, Galactites, Kniphofia, Olearia, and Sorghum.[1]
The botanical genus Moenchia (family Caryophyllaceae) is named in his honor.[2]
The standard botanical author abbreviation Moench is applied to plants he described.
