Victor Félix Schiffner (10 August 1862, Böhmisch-Leipa – 1 December 1944, Baden bei Wien) was an Austrian bryologist specializing in the study of hepatics.

Biography

He studied natural sciences at the University of Prague, where he subsequently worked as a lecturer and as an assistant to Heinrich Moritz Willkomm at the botanical garden. In 1893-94 he was stationed in the Dutch East Indies, being based at the Buitenzorg herbarium on Java. In the meantime, he collected liverwort specimens on Java and Sumatra. In 1895 he returned to Prague, being appointed professor of botany at the university.^[1]^[2]

In 1901 he participated in a government sponsored mission to southern Brazil, where he collected bryophytes. After returning to Austria, he was appointed professor at the University of Vienna, where he remained until 1932 (year of retirement). During the latter part of his career, he focused his energies towards flora native to Europe. His personal herbarium contained 50,000 hepatics and mosses, a collection that was acquired by Harvard University in 1931.^[2]
