Životopis

[upraviť | upraviť zdroj]

David Don bol mladší brat botanika George Dona. V období 1822 až 1841 pôsobil ako knihovník Linnean Society v Londýne. V rokoch 1836 až 1841 bol profesorom botaniky na King’s College London.

David Don popísal niekoľko významných druhov ihličnanov, ktoré boli objavené v 19. storočí (sekvoja vždyzelená, Abies bracteata alebo Cryptomeria japonica). Tiež ako prvý popísal tibetské orchidey Pleione.

Ako knihovník a tajomník botanika Lamberta zostavil Prodromus florae nepalensis. Toto dielo je založené na zbierkach Hamiltona a Wallicha. K neskoršiemu Lambertovmu A description of the genus Pinus doplnil menovky rastlín.

David Don má v Medzinárodnom registri mien rastlín skratku D.Don.

  • Prodromus florae nepalensis, 1825
