Joseph Liboschitz, or Osip Jakovlevič Libošic; Осип Яковлевич Либошиц (1783–1824) was a Russian physician and naturalist from Vilnius.
From 1798, he was a student at the
Tsar Alexander I (from 1822). In St. Petersburg, he founded a children's hospital.[1]
Liboschitz was the first to provide a description of Rehmannia chinensis (synonymous with Rehmannia glutinosa),[2] an important herb in traditional Chinese medicine.
