What Wikipedia says

Friedrich Richard Reinitzer (25 February 1857 – 16 February 1927) was an Austrian botanist and organic chemist. In late the 1880s, when experimenting with a plant derived substance known as cholesteryl benzoate, he accidentally discovered some of the properties of liquid crystals (named later by Otto Lehmann).
