Izabela Textorisová (16 March 1866, Ratková – 12 September 1949, Krupina) was Slovakia's first female botanist. Her copious herbarium, stored at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Comenius University in Bratislava, is a valuable resource for botanists to this day. 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.
A main-belt asteroid, discovered in 2000 by Peter Kušnirák, was also named in her honor.[1][2][3][4]
In 2018, a documentary film about Textorisová's life, titled Rande s Belkou, was produced by CSTISR and broadcast by RTVS in 2020.[5]

In botany she became a renowned and acknowledged expert, particularly in the flora of Turiec. She collected and classified plants, and exchanged specimens with many leading authorities. In 1913 she published the results of her work in the journal Botanikai Kozeményiek under the title "Flora Data from the County of Turiec", setting out more than a hundred plants whose presence in Turiec had previously passed unrecorded.
