Biography
German botanist, Dr Heidi Hartmann, gained her doctorate in 1973 from the University of Hamburg. During almost 40 years of collecting, she has carried out field work across Africa and on field trips in Argentina, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. She has also travelled to the United Arab Emirates and has undertaken herbarium work in England, Sweden, Finland and as far east as China.
During her fieldwork she specialized in collecting members of the family Aizoaceae, the focus of her studies being on their adaptive traits, geographic distribution, taxonomy, anatomy, phenology, and the surface morphology of their leaves, seeds and stems. She also makes a study of Centrosperms (Caryophyllales), especially Gisekia. All told she has published more than a hundred scientific papers and, in 2001, a major two-volume work on Aizoaceae for the series Handbook of Succulent Plants. The genus Hartmanthus S.A. Hammer in the Aizoaceae is named after her. In addition to plant collection, Dr Hartmann collects (and cooks) apple recipes from around the world, and welcomes any additions. A proposed recipe book is still in its infancy.
