What Wikipedia says

Simon Schwendener (10 February 1829 – 27 May 1919) was a Swiss botanist known for his investigations of plant anatomy and physiology. In 1867, he proposed that lichens are composite organisms formed by a symbiotic association between a fungus and an alga, a view that was initially controversial but later confirmed.
