Biography
Swiss missionary and doctor from Zurich who moved to Swabian colony of Helenendorf near Kirovabad (Gäncä, Azerbaijan) in the South Caucasus around 1821. He worked increasingly as a plant collector before returning to Basel (1841) where he earned a living from the sale of exsiccatae based on the specimens of many other collectors. Hohenacker collection localities cited as Chile, Ethiopia, India, Italy, Saudi Arabia, South Africa or Suriname are attributable to other collectors. He later moved to Germany and lived at Esslingen (1842-1858) and later Kirchheim (1858-).
