Biography
Austrian botanist, horticultural journalist and landscape architect. Camillo Schneider was born into a farming family at Gröppensdorf, Saxony. He trained as a gardener, working in Zeitz, Dresden, Greifswald, Berlin and Darmstadt, before moving to Vienna in 1900 to train further under Richard von Wettstein. His first book was published in 1904 (the first volume of a handbook of broad-leaved trees).
Serving as general secretary and traveller for the Austro-Hungarian Dendrological Society, Schneider conducted an expedition in the Balkan Peninsula and the Caucasus in 1907-1908. He was then financed by the Society to collect plants in western China for the Pruhonitz botanical garden, accompanied by the botanist Heinrich Handel-Mazzetti. Schneider went on to publish the series "Arbores Fruticesque Chinenses Novi" in the Botanical Gazette in 1917.
In 1915 Schneider left Shanghai for Boston in the U.S.A. and worked at the Arnold Arboretum, returning to Vienna four years later. He then settled in Berlin once more, working on the new periodical, Gartenschönheit and its successor, Gartenbau im Reich, as well as continuing to practise as a landscape designer. Schneider was an authority on Berberis, but his monograph on the genus was destroyed in bombing in 1943. Camillo K. Schneider should not be confused with the Viennese zoologist Karl Camillo Schneider (1867-1943).
