Rediscovery of Chamisso’s type specimens of Hawaiian Psychotria (Rubiaceae, Psychotrieae) in the herbarium of the Natural History Museum, Vienna
Between 1815 and 1818, Count Nikolai Romanzoff funded an expedition of the Russian brig Rurik. Besides their primary goal to discover the Northeast Passage, their aim was to collect scientific specimens, for which the botanist Adelbert von Chamisso and the entomologist Johann Friedrich von Eschschol...

Between 1815 and 1818, Count Nikolai Romanzoff funded an expedition of the Russian brig Rurik.
