∮ 2 德国博物学家Georg WilhelmSchimper (1804--1878)
1804年,Georg Heinrich Wilhelm Schimper出生于德国 Nuremberg。受父母不幸婚姻的影响,Georg Heinrich Wilhelm Schimper在少年时代接受很少正规的学校教育。他参过军。1828年退役后,Georg Heinrich Wilhelm Schimper曾到哥哥Karl Friedrich Schimper(1803--1867) 任教的慕尼黑大学学习自然科学。
1831年,Georg Heinrich Wilhelm Schimper到法国等地采集植物标本。1832年,他为地质古生物学家Louis Agassiz (1807--1873)当绘图员(draftsman & illustrator)[draftsman—绘制地质图;illustrator—绘画标本等用作插图]。1834年,Georg Heinrich Wilhelm Schimper到埃及和阿拉伯半岛进行科学采集。
1837年,Georg Heinrich Wilhelm Schimper到位于东非的埃塞俄比亚进行科学探险。从此,他在非洲生活40多年,直到1878年去世。Georg Heinrich Wilhelm Schimper在埃塞俄比亚历经艰险。他克服重重困难,为德国、英国、法国等国家的标本馆采集了大量植物标本(包含很多模式标本)。他还采集了埃塞俄比亚的矿物标本(包括古生物化石)。Georg Heinrich Wilhelm Schimper的艰辛采集工作是开拓性的,具有重要科学意义。
