Hisao Migo

Hisao Migo (御江 久夫 Migo Hisao, 1900–1985) was a Japanese botanist.

Hisao Migo was employed at the Shanghai Science Institute from 1933 to 1945 during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai. During his employment at the Institute he made several botanical collecting trips to southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang.

"In 1936, Koiti Kimura identified 20 different species of Dendrobium being sold as shi-hu in Chinese markets, and with Hisao Migo he described a species new to science, D. crispulum, picked up from the drug market (Kimura and Migo, 1936)."
