context_page_description: Eduard Lucas was a German pomologist.
  He worked at the botanical gardens in Munich and Regensburg, and from 1843 taught classes at the Agricultural and Forestry Institute in Hohenheim. Around 1860 he founded the Pomological Institute in Reutlingen.
  With Johann Georg Conrad Oberdieck, he was editor of the Monatsschrift für Pomologie und praktischen Obstbau; later known as the Illustrirte Monatshefte für Obst- und Weinbau and the Pomologische Monatshefte. With Oberdieck and Friedrich Jahn, he was editor of the 8-volume Illustrirtes Handbuch der Obstkunde.
  He is credited for improving and expanding upon the fruit classification system earlier developed by Adrian Diel. Several fruit varieties bear his name, such as the Lucas Gestreifter Rosenapfel, Lucas Königspflaume and Lucas Taubenapfel. The Eduard-Lucas-Medaille is an award offered by the Verein zur Erhaltung und Förderung alter Obstsorten.
