  • Christian Friedrich Ecklon (Åbenrå 1795 – Cape Town 1868) was a Danish botanical collector and apothecary. Ecklon collected extensively in South Africa. His first visit was in 1823, as first an apothecary's apprentice and then pharmacist, looking for plants with medicinal value. Lack of funding and a deteriorating health forced him to live in poor circumstances, selling bulbs or preparing herbal remedies. Nevertheless, when he returned to Europe in 1828, he had collected an extensive herbarium. During his stay in Hamburg, from 1833 to 1838, he worked on revising this collection. This herbarium would become the basis for the Flora Capensis by his friend, the Hamburg pharmacist Otto Wilhelm Sonder in collaboration with the Irish botanist William Henry Harvey . Ecklon was the author, with Karl Ludwig Philipp Zeyher who had travelled with him from 1829, of Enumeratio Plantarum Africae Australis Extratropicae, a descriptive catalogue of South African plants. He later returned to South Africa, where he died in 1868. The herbaria of Lehmann and Sonder in the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm gives special reference to the collection of Ecklon and Zeyher. One of his pupils was Friedrich Heinrich Theodor Freese, a German physician–botanist, who also studied South African plants. According to IPNI, Ecklon named a total of 1974 different genera or species. The genus Ecklonia, including Ecklon's kelp, as well as Ecklon's Purple Iceplant and Ecklon's Everlasting were named in his honour. (en)
  • Christian Friedrich Ecklon est un pharmacien et botaniste danois, né à Apenrade en 1795, mort au Cap en 1868. Ecklon fait de nombreux voyages en Afrique du Sud. Il visite le pays la première fois en 1823, d’abord comme apprenti puis comme pharmacien, recherchant des plantes d’intérêt médicinal. Manquant de fond et sa santé se détériorant, il vit dans une grande misère, vendant des plants ou préparant des médicaments à base de plantes. Néanmoins, quand il retourne en Europe en 1828, il s’était constitué un riche herbier. Il séjourne à Hambourg de 1833 à 1838, où il travaille sur sa collection. Son herbier devenant la base de Flora Capensis que fait paraître son ami, le pharmacien hambourgeois Otto Wilhelm Sonder (1812-1881), de 1860 à 1865, ouvrage publié en collaboration avec le botaniste irlandais William Henry Harvey . Ecklon est l’auteur, avec Carl Ludwig Philipp Zeyher qui avait voyagé avec lui en 1829, d’Enumeratio Plantarum Africae Extratropicae, un catalogue descriptif des végétaux d’Afrique du Sud. Ecklon retourne en Afrique du Sud plus tard où il meurt en 1868. Les herbiers de Lehmann et de Sonder sont conservés au Muséum suédois d'histoire naturelle de Stockholm. L’un de ses élèves est Friedrich Heinrich Theodor Freese (1795?-1876), un médecin et botaniste allemand, qui a également étudié les plantes d’Afrique du Sud. Ecklon est l’auteur de près de 2 000 taxons suivant l’IPNI. Plusieurs espèces ou genres lui ont été dédiés comme Ecklonea, Delosperma ecklonis et Helichrysum ecklonis. (fr)
