"Johann Gottfried Zinn A Zinnia flower Johann Gottfried Zinn () (December 6, 1727 – April 6, 1759) was a German anatomist and botanist and was a member of the Berlin Academy. Biography Johann Gottfried Zinn was born in Schwabach. Considering his short life span, Zinn made a great contribution to the study of anatomy. In his book Descriptio anatomica oculi humani, he provided the first detailed and comprehensive anatomy of the human eye. In 1753 Johann Gottfried Zinn became director of the Botanic garden of the University of Göttingen, and in 1755, professor in the medical faculty. In 1757 Zinn described the orchid genus Epipactis that belongs to the family Orchidaceae. He died in Göttingen. Eponyms Botanist Carl Linnaeus designated a genus of flowers in the family Asteraceae native from Mexico as Zinnia in his honour. He coined the anatomic terms: * Zonula ciliaris Zinnii, now called Zonule of Zinn * Anulus tendineus communis also known as Annulus of Zinn (or Circle of Zinn). Works * A description of the flora around Göttingen 1753. * Descriptio anatomica oculi humani iconibus illustrata 1765.

"Cyathea affinis is a variable species of tree fern native to Fiji, Samoa, the Cook Islands, Austral Islands, Tahiti, and the Marquesas Islands. The trunk of this plant is erect and 2–6 m tall. Fronds are bipinnate and 2–3 m in length. The rachis and stipe are pale to brown in colour, or flushed with red towards the pinnule rachis. The stipe is sparsely covered in narrow basal scales, which are pale to dark and have broad fragile edges. Characteristically of this species, the lowest one or two pairs of pinnae may be slightly reduced and occur towards the base of the stipe. Sori are located near the pinnule midvein and are partially or fully covered by indusia, which open towards the pinnule margin. Large and Braggins (2004) note that there is much variation between individual plants of C. affinis in terms of frond and scale details and Cyathea tahitensis, which is usually regarded as synonymous, may in fact represent a separate species. The closest relatives of C. affinis appear to be Cyathea plagiostegia and Cyathea solomonensis. This species differs from the former in its slightly larger size and larger indusia. C. affinis is not to be confused with Cyathea affinis (W. J. Hooker & Baker, 1874), a synonym of Cyathea medullaris, nor Cyathea affinis (Brackenridge, 1854), a synonym of Cyathea propinqua. Cyathea affinis (M. Martens & Galeotti, 1842) also shares its name with this taxon, but cannot be attributed to any species. Young shoots of C. affinis are eaten in the Marquesas Islands.
