 in 185G. Coming into relations with Naegeli, Schwendener turned his attention to the micro- 

 scopical anatomy of plants. His "contribution to the right understanding of Lichens is his 

 first claim to remembrance as a botanist. His second claim is that he founded and prosecuted 

 to some extent, the study of physiological anatomy." In 1879 he became professor of botany 

 at Berlin, where he remained to the end of his life, and inspired a number of his students to 

 research in physiological anatomy. — M. F. Warner.
