FIG. 135/ FERDINAND JAKOB LINDHEIMER (1801–1879). COURTESY OF THE SOPHIENBURG MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES, NEW BRAUNFELS,TX. well known Plantae Lindheimerianae (Engelmann & Gray 1845). Lindheimer’s love of botany can be seen in the following quote from his 18 April 1845 letter to Engelmann (in Boensch 2000): Forest, grazing land, and land for cultivated fields of the best quality are available. But what does that matter to me? Palmate yuccas, cactus, and mimosas and the fragrance and blossoms of them all, that’s for me. Here I have seen for the first time the total splendor of the prairies.

USED WITH PERMISSION OF THE HUNT INSTITUTE FOR BOTANICAL DOCUMENTATION,CARNEGIE MELLON UNIV., PITTSBURGH,PA;PHO- TOGRAPH BY BRIMMER & KALB,ST.LOUIS,MO. Adolf Scheele (1808–1864) published in the middle 1800s (in the European journal Linnaea) a number of articles based on Lindheimer’s collections (Reveal & Pringle 1993). Many Texas plants are named for Lindheimer, including Lindheimera texana, Texas-star, yellow Texas-star, FIG. 137/ ASA GRAY (1810–1888). USED WITH PERMISSION OF or Lindheimer’s daisy, and Gaura lindheimeri, THE HUNT INSTITUTE FOR BOTANICAL DOCUMENTATION, CARNEGIE white gaura. Details about his life and botanical MELLON UNIV., PITTSBURGH,PA. contributions can be found in Blankinship (1907) and Geiser (1948a). Lindheimer’s letters to Engelmann have been edited, translated, and discussed by Goyne (1991). According to Hatter (1991), Lindheimer’s house and a collection of memorabilia is maintained by the New Braunfels Conservation Society. A friend and sometime collecting companion of Lindheimer was another German, Ferdinand Roemer (1818–1891) (Fig. 138), who spent the years 1845 to 1847 in Texas (Geiser 1948a). While a geologist and sometimes referred to as the “father of the geology of Texas,” he is probably best known for his book, Texas with Particular Reference to German Immigration and the Physical

USED WITH PER- MISSION OF UT INSTITUTE OF TEXAN CULTURES AT SAN ANTONIO, NO. 068-0694 FIG. 140/ JOHN LEONARD RIDDELL (1807–1865). PHOTO FROM RUDOLPH MATAS MEDICAL LIBRARY.COURTESY OF TULANE UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER,NEW ORLEANS, LA, 70112. FIG. 139/CHARLES WRIGHT (1811–1885).USED WITH PERMISSION, FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE GRAY HERBARIUM,HARVARD UNIVERSITY, CAMBRIDGE,MA. Appearance of the Country (Roemer 1849). Roemer, however, also collected plants (Winkler 1915), and his botanical contributions are recognized in such names as Phlox roemeriana, gold-eye phlox, and Salvia roemeriana, cedar sage. Yet another German-born naturalist was Louis Cachand Ervendberg (1809–1863), active in Texas from 1839 to 1855. He corresponded with and collected plants for Asa Gray, working in Comal County and later in Veracruz, Mexico (Geiser 1948a). A further early Texas collector was Charles Wright (1811–1885) (Fig. 139), a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Yale who collected for Asa Gray from 1837 to 1852 (Geiser 1948a). While he botanized in Angelina, Jasper, Newton, and Tyler counties in East Texas, much of his collecting was in western Texas. Some of his work was conducted while accompanying troops to that part of the state, an example being his 1849 expedition across the unexplored region between San Antonio and El Paso. This expedition is of special interest because the Smithsonian’s $150 contribution to defray Wright’s expenses was, according to some, one of the early steps taken by that institution toward the formation of a national herbarium (Winkler 1915). It was also noteworthy because Wright covered the 637 mile distance to El Paso on foot (Morrell 1996). Wright is commemorated by such plants as Datura wrightii, angel-trumpet, and Ipomoea wrightii, Wright’s morning-glory. Further information on Wright’s Texas travels can be found in Shaw (1987).
