What a lovely link. Thanks Hans.
A.Th.v. Middendorff. Journey in the far North and Eastern Siberia during the years 1843 and 1844. (German).
I would say he did what most collectors did then: sent what he collected in Siberia to specialists and then published their report in his printed journal. As a thank you (and it was expected), the specialists named a species after the collector.
Lovely blooms Hans!!
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
