Josef Franz Freyn (7 December 1845, Prague – 16 January 1903, Prague-Smíchov) was an Austrian civil engineer and botanist. He was the son of the Austrian forester Josef Freyn from Obecnic. In 1856-1862 he attended the ''Oberrealschule'' in Prague. After that, he studied at the technical Polytechnic (''technische Hochschule'') in Prague, but interrupted his study for a placement in forestry. In 1865-1867 he studied engineering at the technical Polytechnic (''technische Hochschule'') in Vienna. Afterwards he was employed in the construction of railways in Hungary and later worked in Istria (1874–1878), and in the meantime conducted investigations of regional flora. In 1878 he relocated to Opočno, later returning to Prague (1881), where he owned a construction company.〔(Archive.org ) Full text of "Taxonomic literature] a selective guide to botanical publications and collections with dates, commentaries and types".〕〔(NDB/ADB Deutsche Biographie )〕 As a botanist Freyn was self-taught — he reportedly never attended a formal lecture on botany.〔 In addition to research of Hungarian and Istrian flora, he processed botanical collections from the Iberian peninsula, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Turkestan et al. As a botanical collector he collaborated with Joseph Friedrich Nicolaus Bornmüller, Eduard Hackel, Paul Sintenis.〔(JSTOR Global Plants )〕 and J. J. Manissadijan〔Brian Mathew, Turhan Baytop 1984. The bulbous Plants of Turkey. London, Batsford, p. 12.〕 Freyn is remembered for his specialized studies of individual plant species, especially those within the genera ''Ranunculus'' and ''Hieracium''.〔 An obituary was published by Eduard Hackel.〔Eduard Hackel 1903. † Josef Freyn, Österreichische botanische Zeitschrift, 99-104〕 == Selected publications == * ''Die Flora von Süd-Istrien'', 1878 - Flora of southern Istria. * ''Beitrag zur Flora von Bosnien und der angrenzenden Hercegovina''. 1888 - Contributions involving the flora of Bosnia and in particular Herzegovina. * ''Zur Kenntniss einiger Arten der Gattung Ranunculus'', 1881 - Treatise on species of the genus Ranunculus. * ''Ueber neue und bemerkenswerthe orientalische Pflanzenarten, 3'', Bulletin de l'Herbier Boissier 6(11), 1898 - On new and remarkable Oriental plant species. * "Plantae ex Asia media (Fragmentum): Enumeratio plantarum in Turania a Cl.
