Biography
Polish plant collector Anton Pantaleon Hove was employed by William Aiton and Joseph Banks to gather plant material for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Introduced to Aiton by the German gardener John Graefer, Hove was initially sent to Namibia in 1785. Banks later sent him to Gujerat, India, to try and obtain seeds of robust strains of cotton. In addition to collecting cotton seed, Hove procured some mangosteen plants, which were grown on at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. An account of his journeys was published in 1855 by William Gibson as "Tours for scientific and economical research made in Guzerat, Kattiawar, and the Conkuns, in 1787-88". The Australian shrub genus Hovea R.Br. is named after him.
