Karl Wilhelm Ludwig Pappe , also Carl , (born March 21, 1803 in Hamburg , † October 14, 1862 in Cape Town ) was a German botanist . Its official botanical author's abbreviation is " cardboard ".

Life

Pappe was the son of the writer Johann Joseph Christian Pappe (1768-1856). He spent his school days at the Johanneum in Hamburg. Presumably he then attended the academic high school . Pappe studied medicine and botany in Leipzig and moved to Cape Town as a doctor in the Cape Colony in 1830 , where he opened a practice in 1831. There he dealt intensively with the botany of South Africa, made friends with the head of the botanical garden Baron von Ludwig and in 1858 became professor of botany at the South African College and thus the first botany professor in South Africa. He was also the first to have the title of Colonial Botanist in South Africa from 1858 . He traveled extensively in South Africa to build a herbarium of the country's plants. He sent parts of his collection to William Henry Harvey of Trinity College Dublin, who was working on a monograph on plants of the Cape Province (Flora Capensis), for identification. His herbarium is at the South African Museum . There the collection was neglected and came to the Compton Herbarium in Kirstenbosch in 1856 .

As a botanist, he was highly regarded in South Africa and beyond, also for his work on economically usable plants (such as trees).

He was also on the Botanical Commission (Botanical Garden) of South Africa, but resigned when his friend Karl Ludwig Philipp Zeyher , who had become overseer in the Botanical Garden of Cape Town through his influence, was dismissed under an excuse in 1849. He took over the herbarium from Zeyher, which also came to the South African Museum via cardboard.

In 1857 he became a member of the Leopoldina .

Honors

The tree genus Pappea Eckl. & Zeyh. from the soap tree family (Sapindaceae) was named in his honor.
