Index of Botanists

NameGaertner, Gottfried
Date of birth1754
Date of death1825
RemarksApothecary at Hanau. Abbreviation "G. Gaertner" used because of information from S. Dressler that he was known as Gottfried Gaertner during his lifetime. According to a Walloonian custom the name Philipp, his father's name, was added after death. Another possible explanation is from Dr K.P. Buttler who points out that the death notice in Flora, 1826(1): 32 states: "...starb zu Hanau Hr. Dr. Phil. Gottfried Gartner." where his doctoral degree 'Phil.' may have been interpreted as Philipp. (vide IPNI). Example of Name Published: Bifolium G. Gaertner, B. Meyer & Scherbius, Oekon. Fl. Wetterau, 1: 175. 1799. [author note: Herbarium and types: some specimens at W]
