Johannes Jacob Hegetschweiler (4 December 1789, Rifferswil – 9 September 1839, Zürich) was a Swiss physician and botanist. He is remembered for his investigations of Alpine vegetation. == Biography == In 1809 he studied medicine at the medical-surgical institute in Zurich, followed by medical studies at the University of Tübingen as a pupil of Johann Heinrich Ferdinand von Autenrieth. While at Tübingen, he also attended lectures in natural sciences given by Carl Friedrich Kielmeyer.〔(Hegetschweiler, Johannes ) at Deutsche Biographie〕 Later on, he worked as a physician at the typhus hospital in Rheinau, and from 1814 to 1831, he served as a doctor in the town of Stafa.〔(Hegetschweiler, Johannes )- Historisches Lexikon der Schweiz〕 From 1831 to 1839 he held various posts with the cantonal government in Zürich. During the so-called Züriputsch of September 6, 1839, as a mediator between government militia and insurrectionists, he was wounded in the head from a bullet fired by the insurgents, and died three days later on September 9.〔〔(Clarification of a political assassination in 1839: statesman Johannes Hegetschweiler shot during civil unrest in Zurich ) Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax. 1992 May 26;81(22):718-23.〕 The botanical genus ''Hegetschweilera'' Heer, Regel (1842) commemorates his name,〔(BHL ) Taxonomic literature : a selective guide to botanical publications〕 as does taxa with the specific epithet of ''hegetschweileri''.〔(Etymological Dictionary of Grasses ) by Harold T.
