Nicolai Anders von Hartwiss (transliteration Андерс Николай фон Хартвис[1]) (1791–1860) was a Russian botanist, plant explorer and plant breeder.
Life
Von Hartwiss was born Nikolauis Ernst Bartholomäus Anhorn von Hartwiss in 1792. His father had an estate in Livonia.[2] By that time Livonia (roughly present day Latvia) had been absorbed (under the Governorate of Livonia) into the Russian Empire, but the nobility, including the von Harwisses, still retained its ancient Baltic German forms.[3]
Von Hartwiss was educated at the Livonian university of Dorpat, possibly at its famous faculty of natural science.[2]
He was an officer in the wars against Napoloeon 1812–1818, discharged with wounds.[2]
Von Hartwiss at one time gained practical gardening experience laying out fields of flowers, fruit trees and both exotic and domestic trees on his father's estate.[2]
In 1824 he was appointed to the Russian Imperial Botanical Garden at Nikita in Yalta on the south coast of the Crimea. In 1827 he became its second director. From Nikita he organised plant hunting expeditions into the surrounding territories.[2]
He and his wife themselves had an estate in the Crimea.[4] He died in the Crimea in 1860.
Exploration
Von Hartwiss collected plants in Georgia and the Crimea. Numerous species were named by him, some named after him.[2]
- (Boraginaceae) Cordia hartwissiana Regel[5]
- (Cupressaceae) Juniperus hartwissiana Steven ex Koeppen[6]
- (Fagaceae) Quercus hartwissiana Steven[7]
- (Paeoniaceae) Paeonia hartwissiana Hort. ex Trautv.[8]
Plant breeding
Von Hartwiss imported many plants for the Botanic Garden, including roses. In 1827 he began to breed roses. These were partly for the Garden itself, but also for the Alupka Palace of the governor-general of the Caucasus, Count (later Prince) Michael Vorontsov. Some thirty of his roses were sold from the Alupka Palace nursery. At least two are still growing there.[2][9]
Roses bred
Known Hartwiss varieties are 'Comtesse Elizabeth Woronzof' 1833, still growing at Alupka; 'Belle de Nikita' 1833, still at Alupka and thought by some to be the rose imported into France as 'Marechal Niel'[4] ; 'Baronne Julie de Berkheim' 1833, apparently lost.[10]
