Carl August Bolle (21 November 1821, Schöneberg (Berlin) – 17 February 1909) was a German naturalist and collector. Bolle was born at Berlin into a wealthy brewing family. He studied medicine and natural science at Berlin and Bonn. He visited the Cape Verde Islands and the Canary Islands in 1852 and 1856, and wrote ''Mein zweiter Beitrag zur Vogelkunde der Canarischen Inseln'' in 1857.〔( German Research Foundation (DFG) ) Mein zweiter Beitrag zur Vogelkunde der canarischen Inseln〕 Bolle was a founder member of the Deutsche Ornithologen-Gesellschaft (German Ornithological Society) in 1867, succeeding Alfred Brehm as Chairman in 1884. The Bolle's laurel pigeon (''Columba bollii'') of the Canary Islands was named after him by Frederick DuCane Godman. He also made contributions as a botanist, especially in the field of dendrology.〔(Fakultät für Biologie und PsychologieAlbrecht-von-Haller-Institut für Pflanzenwissenschaften ) Department of Systematic Botany〕 His herbarium was bequeathed to the Berlin-Dahlem Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum, although largely destroyed during World War II (1943).〔(JSTOR Global Plants ) (biography)〕 The plant genus ''Bollea'' (family Orchidaceae) is named in his honor.〔(CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms ) by Umberto Quattrocchi〕 ==References== 〔 * ''Biographies for Birdwatchers'' - Barbara and Richard Mearns 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Bolle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
