Johann Centurius Hoffmann Graf von Hoffmannsegg (August 23, 1766 – December 13, 1849) was a German botanist, entomologist and ornithologist. Hoffmannsegg was born at Rammenau〔Matthias Kade, (Hoffmannsegg (Hoffmansegg), Johann Centurius Graf von ), in: Sächsische Biografie, hrsg. vom Institut für Sächsische Geschichte und Volkskunde e.V., bearb. von Martina Schattkowsky, Online-Ausgabe: http://www.isgv.de/saebi/ (7.10.2011)〕 and studied at Leipzig and Göttingen. He travelled through Europe acquiring vast collections of plants and animals. He visited Hungary, Austria and Italy in 1795–1796 and Portugal from 1797 to 1801. He sent his collections to Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger, then in Brunswick, so that he could study them. Hoffmannsegg worked in Berlin from 1804 to 1816, and was elected a member of the Academy of Science of the city in 1815. He was the founder of the zoological museum of Berlin in 1809. Hoffmannsegg proposed Illiger for the position of curator, and all the Hoffmannsegg's collections were then transferred to Berlin. The legume genus ''Hoffmannseggia'' is named for him.〔(CalFlora Botanical Names )〕 ==Notes== 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「Johann Centurius Hoffmannsegg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
