He ended his career serving as the Director of the Russian Imperial Botanical Garden of St. Petersburg. As a result of naturalists and explorers sending back biological collections, Regel was able to describe and name many previously unknown species from frontiers around the world. In 1852 he founded the magazine Gartenflora, in which he described many new species. Carl Ludwig Max Wittmack (1839 – 1929) was a German botanist. In 1874, he became affiliated with the University of Berlin. He was professor of Botany at the Agricultural College in Berlin (1880-1913), professor of botany at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Berlin (1880-1920), director of the Experiment Station of the Association of German Müller (1875-1905), a member of the department for seed cultivation in the German Agricultural Society (1883-1924), and Director of the Agricultural Institute (1889-91 and 1910-13). From 1887, he was editor of the magazine Gartenflora (from the Vereins zur Beförderung des Gartenbaues in den preussischen Staaten), founded in 1852 by the German botanist Eduard August von Regel. ** This lot is part of an important collection that will be auctioned in the coming months through the Catawiki Collection Service.
