Life
He was born as the son of a bank clerk and estate manager in the village of Warkowicze, today Warkowytschi ( Варковичі ) in the Ukrainian Rivne Oblast . He grew up in various parts of western Ukraine and studied in Vilnius after his father's death (1801) . Andrzejowski was a student of the botanists Franz Scheidt and Wilibald Swibert Joseph Gottlieb von Besser in Kremenez and was a teacher at the Lyceum in Kremenez. After his Polish-language Lyceum was closed in 1832, he was from 1832 assistant to Besser and lecturer at St. Vladimir University in Kiev . He had to give up when Russian authorities suspected him of harboring conspirators. From 1839 he taught natural history at the Lyceum in Nischyn and in 1852 retired as a professor in Stawyschtsche, where he ran the botanical garden.
His specialties were cruciferous vegetables (Brassicaceae) and the flora of the Ukraine. But he was also interested in zoology, geology and paleontology.
Andrzejowski described 51 fossil animal species from the Miocene of Volhynia . In 1825 he published a list of Ukrainian wild plants and posthumously in 1869 a flora of the Ukraine and its neighboring areas. He collected in Lithuania , Volhynia, Ukraine and Podolia . Occasionally he also worked on zoology, especially reptiles and amphibians.
The composer genus Andrzeiowskia is named in his honor. He was a member of the Moscow Society of Naturalists and the Warsaw Natural History Society and correspondent of the University of Kiev.
His first descriptions include stiff barbara from the cruciferous family (Brassicaceae).
