Ludwig von Sarnthein
Ludwig von Sarnthein (4 January 1861, in Hermannstadt – 1 February 1914, in Hall, Tyrol) was an Austrian government administrator and botanist. He obtained his education in Innsbruck, later serving as a government official in Brixen and Trieste (from 1892), Innsbruck (1905) and Ampezzo (1906), where he ultimately attained the rank of "Bezirkshauptmann" (district governor). With Karl Wilhelm von Dalla Torre, he was co-author of works associated with the flora of Tyrol, Vorarlberg and Liechtenstein. As taxonomists, the two men co-described numerous botanical species.
