Ferdinand Ignatius Xavier Rugel (17 December 1806 – 31 January 1879) was a German-born American pharmacist, botanist, and plant collector.

Life

Ferdinand Rugel was born on 17 December 1806 in Wolfegg, a municipality in the district of Ravensburg in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. He died on 31 January 1879 in Jefferson County, Tennessee, US. He was buried at the Westminster Presbyterian Church Cemetery in the town of White Pine, Tennessee. The inscription on his gravestone states he was born on 24 December 1806 but that is in fact incorrect.

In Europe, Rugel collected plant specimens in Switzerland, France, Spain, and Sicily. After emigrating to the United States in 1840, under the direction of R.J. Shuttleworth, he collected widely throughout the southeastern United States during the period 1840–1848. He also collected in Cuba in 1849, severing his ties with Shuttleworth in the same year. After 1850, he collected occasionally in Tennessee and Texas.
