Izabela Textorisová
Izabela Textorisová was Slovakia's first female botanist. Her copious herbarium is still today a valuable source for botanists. She described more than a hundred new plants in the Turiec region. In 1893 she discovered a new species of thistle, later named Carduus textorisianus Marg. in her honor.
A main-belt asteroid discovered in 2000 was also named in her honor.
