Carl Walter (c. 1831 – 7 October 1907), also known as Charles Walter, was a German-born botanist and photographer who worked in Australia. Walter was born in Mecklenburg, Germany in about 1831〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Design&Art Australia Online )〕 and arrived in Victoria in the 1850s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Council of Heads of Australian Herbaria )〕 ==Botanical work== Walter discovered and collected a new species of mint bush on Mount Ellery which was named in his honour as ''Prostanthera walteri'' by Victorian Government Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1870 .〔 It is thought that Walter accompanied the geodetic survey team headed by Government Astronomer Robert L. J. Ellery which surveyed East Gippsland and the border with New South Wales from 1869 to 1871.〔 He collected plants on behalf of Anatole von Hügel and was accompanied by missionary George Brown in exploring the Bismarck Archipelago in 1875. In 1889, Walter collected the type specimen of ''Eucalyptus x brevirostris'' in the Upper Yarra region in 1889. During the 1890s, Walter collected plant specimens in the Australian Alps, accompanied by Charles French junior. From the 1890s until his death in 1907, Walter was head of economic botany at the Technological Museum in Melbourne.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=JSTOR Global Plants )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Enycopedia of Australian Science )〕 In 1906, Walter described a new subspecies of the orchid ''Diuris punctata'' in ''The Victorian Naturalist'', based on plant material collected at Mount Arapiles by St. Eloy D'Alton. He named it ''Diuris puncata'' var. ''d'Altoni'', subsequently revised to ''daltoni''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Walter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
