|a This copy signed by "F. Metz". Johann Friedrich Metz is reputed to have been the German missionary of the title. Johann Friedrich Metz is identified by the Natural History Museum (British), cf, JSTOR record https://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.person.bm000400753 -- While residing at Mangalore, India, Swiss missionary Johann Friedrich Metz was commissioned by the German Rudolph F. Hohenacker to make plant collections for distribution to European botanists. Not a botanist himself, he was nevertheless happy to collect and sell plants in order to earn funds that could be put towards buildings for the Basel Mission in India. He collected in Kanara on the southern Konkan coast, followed by Coorg (Kodagu) in the Western Ghats and Keti near Ootacamund in the Nilgiri Hills. Metz was one of the first missionaries to collect plants in Cochin (Kochi). -- With Hohenacker, Metz published some work on his collections, such as "Sammlungen ostindischer Pflanzen aus Canara und den Nilgherries" (Botanische Zeitung, 1851). He also committed to paper his observations of the indigenous people of the region, such as his 1856 account, Tribes inhabiting the Nilgherry Hills. -- Source: R.R. Stewart, 1982, "Missionaries and Clergymen as Botanists in India and Pakistan", Taxon, 31(1): 58. -- Some bibliographic sources report F. Metz as J. Franz Metz. |
