German botanist (1788–1850)
Carl Sigismund Kunth
Born (1788-06-18 ) June 18, 1788Died March 22, 1850(1850-03-22) (aged 61 ) Nationality German Alma mater University of Berlin Occupation Botanist
Carl Sigismund Kunth (18 June 1788 – 22 March 1850) was a German botanist . He was also known as Karl Sigismund Kunth or anglicized as Charles Sigismund Kunth. He was one of the early systematic botanists who focused on studying the plants of the Americas . Kunth's notable contributions include the publication of Nova genera et species plantarum quas in peregrinatione ad plagam aequinoctialem orbis novi collegerunt Bonpland et Humboldt . This work spanned seven volumes and was published between 1815 and 1825.
Early life [ edit ]
He was born in Leipzig , Germany. Kunth became a merchant's clerk in Berlin in 1806. His interest in botany was sparked when he met Alexander von Humboldt , who facilitated his attendance at lectures held at the University of Berlin .
Kunth served as Humboldt's assistant in Paris from 1813 to 1819, during which time he meticulously examined and described the plants collected by Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland during their expedition through the Americas.[1]
Upon his return to Berlin in 1820, Kunth assumed the position of Professor of Botany at the University of Berlin, as well as Vice President of the Berlin botanical garden . In recognition of his contributions, he was elected as a member of the Academy of Sciences in Berlin in 1829.
In 1829, Kunth embarked on a three-year journey to South America, traversing Chile , Peru , Brazil , Venezuela , Central America , and the West Indies .
Following his death in 1850, the Prussian government acquired Kunth's botanical collection, which subsequently became part of the esteemed Royal Herbarium in Berlin.
Kunth described and named numerous species and genera. He named certain genera in honor of his colleagues and collaborators, including Gaudichaudia . Contemporaries reciprocated by naming species after him. Although Bonpland initially named the genus Kunthia in his honor (now considered synonymous with Chamaedorea ).[2] Gaudichaud named a Hawaiian fern species, Doodia kunthiana (family Blechnaceae ), after him. Another floral tribute is the Nilgiri flower Strobilanthes kunthiana [3]
Note: Kunth = C.S. Kunth ; H.B.K. = Humboldt, Bonpland & Kunth
