He studied
botany at

Conrad Gessner, after which he started a practise of medicine at
Basel, where he was elected Professor of

Bauhin nurtured several botanic gardens and also collected plants during his travels. In 1591, he published a list of plants named after saints called
De Plantis a Divis Sanctisve Nomen Habentibus.
He was the son of
physician Jean Bauhin and the brother of
physician and
botanist Gaspard Bauhin.
Carolus Linnaeus named the genus
Bauhinia (family
Caesalpiniaceae) for the brothers Johann and Gaspard Bauhin.
