乔治·恩格曼是美国西部早期历史上一位重要的植物学家，他在半个世纪里收集并鼓励其他人在该地区进行收集。从他对仙人掌科分类学的贡献中可以清楚地看出他的影响，他的 108 多个描述涵盖了当今公认的分类学的三分之二以上。乔治·恩格曼 (George Engelmann) 于 1809 年 2 月 2 日出生于美因河畔法兰克福，于 1884 年 2 月 4 日在圣路易斯去世，享年七十六岁。萨金特 (Sargent) (1884)、格雷 (Gray) (1887)、劳顿 (Lawton) (1968) 和贝德曼 (Beidleman) (1970) 的传记中记载了他的早年生活。恩格曼自己承认，他对植物学的兴趣在他青少年时期就已经显现出来（Lawton，1968），并且随着他在德国的早期训练而得到加强。这种兴趣在他的第一个主要出版物《De Antholysi Prodromus》（Engelmann，1832 年）中达到了顶峰。 1831 年夏天，他在维尔茨堡完成了这篇首篇论文，获得了医学博士学位。这是一部形态学著作，主要基于对植物怪物的研究，并配有作者的插图。这部早期作品中所表现出的细心和细节并没有被忽视，并且很好地表明了恩格尔曼后期作品的方向和水平。 1832 年，恩格曼和他的同事（包括路易斯·阿加西、亚历山大·布劳恩和卡尔·辛珀）离开欧洲前往美国。抵达纽约后，他前往费城，在那里结识了科学界的成员。恩格曼继续向西旅行，在密西西比河谷尚未开发的地区寻找家园。因此，他在伊利诺伊州短暂停留后于 1833 年抵达圣路易斯。圣路易斯当时“我想向已故的埃德加·S·安德森博士表示感谢，他为本文的发展埋下了种子。”与他的讨论对我来说很刺激，就像对其他许多人来说一样。还要感谢密苏里植物园图书馆的 Carla Lange 女士在编撰过程中提供的帮助以及在 Engelmannia 不断增长的领域中分享的意愿。 2密苏里植物园，2315 Tower Grove Avenue，圣路易斯，密苏里州 63110。密苏里机器人。嘉德。 57：135-144。 1970. 此内容于 2016 年 8 月 11 日星期四 05:36:19 UTC 从 157.55.39.162 下载 所有使用均受 http://about.jstor.org/terms 约束
George Engelmann was a premier botanist in the early history of the Western United States for the half century he collected and encouraged others to collect in the region. His influence can be seen clearly through his contribution to the taxonomy of the Cactaceae where his more than 108 descriptions comprise over two-thirds of the forms recognized today. George Engelmann was born February 2, 1809 in Frankfort-on-the-Main and died just into his seventy-sixth year in Saint Louis on February 4, 1884. His early life has been chronicled in biographies by Sargent (1884), Gray (1887), Lawton (1968), and Beidleman (1970). By his own admission the botanical interests of Engelmann surfaced during his teenage years (Lawton, 1968) and were enhanced with his early training in Germany. The culmination of this interest appeared with his first major publication, De Antholysi Prodromus (Engelmann, 1832). This inaugural dissertation completed his degree of Doctor of Medicine at Wiirzburg in the summer of 1831. It was a morphological work based chiefly on the study of plant monstrosities and featured illustrations by the author. The care and detail shown in this early work did not go unnoticed and were a good indication of the direction and caliber of Engelmann's later work. In 1832, Engelmann left Europe and his colleagues, including Louis Agassiz, Alexander Braun and Karl Schimper, for the United States. After landing in New York, he traveled to Philadelphia where he became acquainted with members of the scientific community. Engelmann journeyed farther west seeking a home in the reasonably unexplored region of the Mississippi Valley. Thus he arrived at Saint Louis in 1833 after a short stay in Illinois. Saint Louis was then 'I would like to express my appreciation to the late Dr. Edgar S. Anderson, who implanted the seed that developed into this paper. The discussions with him were stimulating to me as they have been for so many others. Acknowledgement is also given to Mrs. Carla Lange of the Missouri Botanical Garden Library for her assistance in compiling and willingness to share in the growing field of Engelmannia. 2Missouri Botanical Garden, 2315 Tower Grove Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63110.
