Biography
German planter in Fiji. Storck initially moved from Germany to Australia, where he worked at the Sydney Botanic Gardens. Here he met Berthold Seemann on his way to Fiji in 1960, and left the botanic gardens to become an assistant to the botanist, and together they travelled to Fiji. Seemann left Fiji in 1861, but Storck remained permanently in the country as a cotton and sugar planter, occasionally sending botanical specimens to Kew. The palm species Neoveitchia storckii Becc. is named for him.
