 von Chamisso - 05/1995
On board were a 36-year-old botanist, novelist, and poet, Adalbert von Chamisso, and his friend, the ship’s young doctor, Johann Friedrich Gustav von Eschscholtz.
Eschscholtz was born in present-day Latvia, then part of the German-speaking territories.
Suzanne Summerville informs us that von Chamisso's family was not driven out of France by the Revolution, but in fact settled in Berlin after an older brother got a job there and then found a job for Adelbert at the KPM (Royal Berlin Porcelain Factory) as an apprentice painter.

 Adelbert von Chamisso - Presidio of San Francisco
Von Chamisso was a naturalist of noble birth whose family was driven from France during the French Revolution of 1789 to 1799, when the monarchy was overthrown.
As Chamisso immortalized his friend in plant nomenclature, Eschscholtz was able to return the favor when, on another voyage of discovery with the Rurik's Captain Kotzebue to California in 1823, he noted a showy shrub growing near the coast and named it Lupinus chamissonis, commonly known as Chamisso's Lupine.
Eschscholtz, like Chamisso, is regarded as an important figure in 19th century exploration of the Pacific, Alaska and California.

 California Poppy
The genus was named by Adelbert von Chamisso in honor of his friend Johann Friedrich Eschscholtz, physician and naturalist on the Russian Kotzebue expedition that visited California.
Eschscholtz was of German parentage, but his parents had settled in Russia.
This is not unexpected; "Eschscholtz" and "Eschscholz" would have been (and still are) pronounced the same in German, and at that time spelling was not firmly fixed in most European languages.

The expedition’s naturalist was one Adelbert von Chamisso.
Von Chamisso was Eschscholtz’s good friend, which is why he named the genus after Eschscholtz.
Perhaps the relationship between Eschscholtz and von Chamisso was like that of the wonderful Aubrey and Maturin duet, except stronger because they were both von Chamosso and Eschscholtz were men of science interested in botany.
