Kalheber, H.: Bavarian plant collectors in Greece — 1. Franz Xaver Berger, Franz Zuccarini and Carl Nikolaus Fraas. — Willdenowia 36 (Special Issue): 565–578. — ISSN 0511-9618: © 2006 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. doi:10.3372/wi.36.36153 (available via http//dx.doi.org/)Short biographies are presented of three Bavarian plant collectors in Greece. Franz Xaver Berger (1806–1834), a catholic priest, and Franz Zuccarini (1799?–1833), the brother of the Munich Professor Joseph Gerhard Zuccarini, came to Greece with King Otho in 1833. Both died in Nauplia. The third, Carl Nikolaus Fraas (1810–1875), came to Athens in 1835, evolved in Greece from a pure plant systematist to an economic botanist, and returned to Munich in 1841, where he became later Director of the Royal Central School of Veterinary Medicine and Professor at the University.
