Hugo Marie de Vries ForMemRS[2] (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈhyxoː də ˈvriːs]) (February 16, 1848, Haarlem – May 21, 1935, Lunteren) was a Dutch botanist and one of the first geneticists. He is known chiefly for suggesting the concept of genes, rediscovering the laws of heredity in the 1890s while unaware of Gregor Mendel's work, for introducing the term "mutation", and for developing a mutation theory of evolution.
