Augustus Quirinus Rivinus (9 December 1652 – 20 December 1723), also known as August Bachmann or A. Q. Bachmann, was a German physician and botanist who helped to develop better ways of classifying plants.
Rivinus was born in Leipzig, Germany, and studied at the University of Leipzig (1669–1671), continued his studies in the University of Helmstedt (where he received M.D. in 1676). In 1677, he started lecturing in medicine at the University of Leipzig, in 1691 appointed to two chairs, that of physiology and of botany, and made the curator of the University medical garden. In 1701, he became professor of pathology, in 1719, professor of therapeutics and permanent dean of the Faculty of Medicine. The same year he became a Fellow of the Royal Society. Because of his interest also in astronomy, by the last decade of his life (around 1713), Rivinus was nearly completely blind from looking at sunspots. He died in Leipzig.
In his Introductio generalis in rem herbariam and three books on the plant orders (which comprised but a small part of the whole projected work on a methodical description of plants), Rivinus introduced several important innovations which were later used by other botanists (Joseph Pitton de Tournefort and Carl Linnaeus among them). He classified the plants according to the structure of the flower. Like John Ray he extensively used dichotomous keys which led first to the higher groups, which he called higher genera (genus summum) of plant orders (ordo), and then to the lower genera.

There's no better days than these
There's something in the air
It's coming over me
Feels like I'm awakening
To a brand new day of hope
Seeing things I've never seen
This is what I've been looking for
I found love and love found me
Broke through my heart and set me free
And now I know that I'm complete
'Cause I found love and love found me
Singing... Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love found me
Singing... Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love found me
There's a peace I've come to know
And it's holding onto me like an anchor to my soul
And now that I'm free
I'll shout for all to hear
This song inside of me
Yeah this is what I've been looking for
I found love and love found me
Broke through my heart and set me free
And now I know that I'm complete
'Cause I found love and love found me
Singing... Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love found me
Singing... Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love found me
Oh and this love is real
No matter what they say
Oh and this love will steal every heart it saves
I found love and love found me
Broke through my heart and set me free
And now I know that I'm complete
'Cause I found love and love found me
I found love and love found me
Broke through my heart and set me free
And now I know that I'm complete
'Cause I found love and love found me
Singing... Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love found me
Singing... Yeah, yeah, yeah
