Raab and his wife Antonia, silhouettes by Francois Gornod

Franz Anton von Raab (1722-1783) was an Austrian agrarian reformer and a minister under Maria Theresa.[1] He championed economic reforms known as Raabization, in which church-owned land was sold to peasants in return for cash payments that freed them from their obligated robota labor.[2]

His daughter Eleonore von Raab built up a substantial collection of minerals which was widely known after being catalogued by Ignaz von Born.[3][4]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
