August Gustav Heinrich von Bongard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

August Gustav Heinrich von Bongard (1786-1839) was a German botanist, who worked at Saint Petersburg, Russia. He was among the first botanists to describe the new plants then being discovered in Alaska (under Russian ownership at the time), including species now of major commercial importance like Sitka Spruce and Red Alder. The specimens he described were mostly collected by Carl Mertens at Sitka, Alaska.
