Hugo De Vries (1848–1935) was a Dutch plant physiologist and geneticist who studied the water of plant cells, osmosis, and heredity. He was the first to propose the theory of evolution by distinct changes, or pangenesis, based on his observations of the evening primrose. He also discovered the mutants of the evening primrose and the evening primrose theory.
