Matteo Botteri, (1808 – 1877) also known as Matija Botteri, was a botanist, ornithologist, and collector.
Biography
[edit | edit source]Botteri was born on the island Hvar[1] to an Italian family.[citation needed] He began his early career in Dalmatia and nearby areas in the Ottoman Empire[2] with flora and fauna, primarily ichthyologist investigations,[1] while headquartered in Hvar.[3] He, along with his contemporary Grgur Bučić, sent materials to Georg von Frauenfeld for his studies.[4] He also sent material to Friedrich Kützing. In 1854, he travelled to Mexico to collect plants on behalf of the Royal Horticultural Society.[5] He settled in Orizaba, where he founded a museum[6] and became professor of languages and natural history at Orizaba College.[7]
Philip Sclater commemorated him in the name of the Botteri's sparrow, which Botteri collected as well as other birds in Veracruz in 1857.[8][9] He amassed a collection of 120 unique bird species in the vicinity of Orizaba,[10] including areas such as Tuxpango, Tehuipango.[11] His keeping of slaty vireo brought attention as its green color stood out among its genus.[12]
He died in Orizaba in 1877.[1]
