Schadenberg, Dr Alexander V.

(Source: Flora Malesiana ser. 1, 1: Cyclopaedia of collectors)
(Source: Flora Malesiana ser. 1, 8: Cyclopaedia of collectors, Supplement II)

Born: 1851, Breslau, Germany. Died: 1896, Capiz, Panay, P.I.

career:

Ethnologist who made several explorations in the Philippines, the first one as early as 1876-79;¹ in autumn 1881 he set out with O. Koch (see there) for a 2nd voyage. In November 1885 he set out once more to the Philippine Archipelago, that time planning to devote more time to botanical collecting.²

Rafflesia schadenbergiana Goepp., and Rhododendron schadenbergii Warb. were named after him.

Collecting localities:

1881-82. Philippines. Luzon: Manila (few days); sailing for W. Luzon, the country of the Negritos (staying some weeks); back to Manila; visit to Panay, Guimaras, Negros and Sulu Archipelago. From the end of Dec. 1881-June 1882 he stayed in S. Mindanao, Davao, collecting on Mt Apo (Febr.) and on the near Mt PArag (Apr.),³being back at Breslau (Germany) towards the end of August.

collections:

His entomological collection at Dresden and Vienna. Botanical collection probably at Dresden [DR] or Breslau [WRSL]. He collected in 1882 with O. Koch (see there), including a new species of Rafflesia etc.⁴ The latter material in Herb. Breslau [WRSL]; in 1880 he brought home an Amorphophallus tuber to Breslau. Up till the present no later Philippine collections are known to me.
