Casimir Christoph Schmidel was a German naturalist of the eighteenth century who researched in botany and mineralogy, born in Bayreuth in 1718 and died in Ansbach in 1792. Among the genera he named are the flowering plant genera Penstemon and Proboscidea and the fern genus Thelypteris, and among the species he described is the red alga Dilsea carnosa. The article on the zoologist Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper, who studied under him, names Schmidel as his professor of botany who encouraged him to leave theology and study natural history instead.
