Franz de Paula Maly
Franz de Paula Maly , also Malý , (born February 18, 1823 in Winař , Časlau district , Bohemia ; † September 11, 1891 in Vienna ) was a k. k. and k. u. k. Austrian gardener and botanist . Its botanical author's abbreviation is "F.Malý".
Life
Franz Malys official designation as court gardener of the Belvedere was castle garden inspector. The move of the oldest alpine garden in Europe, originally laid out by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in Schönbrunn, to the park of the Upper Belvedere goes back to Maly . In addition to the Alpine Garden, Maly was in charge of the Flora Austriaca collection.
Maly took part in the Brazil expedition of Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian from 1859 to 1860 . His own travels took him mainly to the Balkan countries . He has made a particular contribution to the botanical research of the flora of Dalmatia , Velebit and Orjen . In the Orjen Maly found the endemic snake skin pine ( Pinus leucodermis ). The later description of the species by Albert Zimmeter goes back to his collection of the Pleasant Columbine in Orjen in 1864 . In his honor, Roberto Visiani named the crocus Crocus malyi Vis, first found by Maly in the Velebit Mountains .
Maly's extensive herbarium, which he had compiled in Croatia , Dalmatia and Montenegro in particular , largely passed into the possession of Cardinal Archbishop Lajos Haynald . This collection can now be found in the Natural History Museum in Budapest .
His son Karl Maly (1874–1951) worked as a botanist in Sarajevo until the end of his life and was one of the leading Yugoslav botanists.
