Everything about Carl Ludwig Blume totally explained
Karl Ludwig Ritter von Blume (
29 June 1789 -
3 February 1862) was a
German-
Dutch botanist.
He was born at
Braunschweig in
Germany, but spent most of his professional life working in the
Netherlands, where he was Director of the Rijksherbarium (state
herbarium) at
Leiden. His name is sometimes given in the
Dutch language form
Karel Lodewijk Blume, but the original
Germanic spelling is the one most widely used in botanical texts, but even then there's confusion as he's sometimes referred to as K.L. (from Karl) and sometimes as C.L. (from Carl or even Charles) Blume.
He carried out extensive studies of the
flora of southern
Asia, particularly in
Java, then a
colony of the
Netherlands. From
1823 to
1826 Blume was deputy director of agriculture at the
botanic garden in
Bogor (Buitenzorg) in Java.
The
botanical journal Blumea is named after him.
