The botanical expeditions and collections of Hofrat Prof. Carl Haussknecht (1838-1903) in Anatolia
Öz
Hofrat Prof. C.Haussknecht (1838-1903) was a well known German
botanist. He founded a rich herbarium and a library, which he housed in
Weimar in a separate building as the Herbarium Haussknecht, and opened it to
the visit of researchers in 1896. He was a pharmacist and had a drugstore, but
his passion for the plants made him a collector and a botanist. In his youth, he
came twice to Anatolia, in 1865 and 1867. He travelled in the provinces of
Hatay, Gaziantep, Maraş, Adıyaman, Malatya, Elazığ, Diyarbakır, Urfa, and
Mardin. The Flora of Turkey cites nearly 550 of his specimens. We see there that he has collected the types of 135 Anatolian new taxa. The number of
Haussknecht’s Anatolian specimens in Flora Orientalis is ca.1300. We can
conclude then that his Turkish collection comprises not less than 2000
specimens. 34 Turkish taxa bears his name with the epithet hausknechtii.
Boissier named in 1872 a new genus after him: Haussknechtia Boiss. His
Anatolian specimens are distributed to 12 herbaria across 6 European countries.
