(30252) Textorisova Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 30 April 2000 by P. Kusnirak at Ondrejov.
Izabela Textorisová (1866-1949) was Slovakia's first female botanist. Her copious herbarium is still today a valuable source for botanists. She described more than a hundred new plants in the Turiec region. In 1893 she discovered a new species of thistle, later named Carduus textorisianus Marg. in her honor.Naming citation (20020427/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
