Albert Üksip
Albert Aleksander Üksip (8 December 1886 in Narva – 10 August 1966 in Tallinn) was an Estonian actor, botanist (hieraciologist) and translator.[1] He published a part of his works in Russian as Альберт Яковлевич Юксип, so besides the correct form Üksip there exist several variants of his name: Ueksip, Juxip, Juksip and Üxip.[2]
In 1902 he graduated from Narva city school. Between 1902 and 1923 he worked at Kreenholm Manufacturing Company.[1] From 1923 to 1949 he was an actor of the national Estonian theatre "Estonia". After his retirement he worked on the genus Hieracium, publishing two monographs and several smaller papers.[3] He authored several hundred names in this difficult genus, including both new species he described and new nomenclatural combinations.[2]
There exists a documentary film about him, dated from 1963.[4]
