### Author
Gaertner, Joseph (1732-1791), German physician and botanist, who ultimately settled as "Privatgelehrter" at Calw.
**Abbreviated name**: *Gaertn.* \[standard form in IPNI: *Gaertn.*\]
#### Herbarium and types
Joseph Gaertner's collection of fruits and seeds is at Tübingen ([[Collection TUB|TUB]]). Carl Friedrich Gaertner added to these collections and had a herbarium of his own, also at [[Collection TUB|TUB]]. The Gaertner collection of fruits and seeds should be consulted with the knowledge in mind that material was added to it after Joseph's death and from collections that Joseph Gaertner could not possibly have consulted. Joseph Gaertner received material on loan from several sources, e.g. from Banks. He made use of the van Royen collections at Leiden during his stay in that town. His types are therefore not necessarily always in the Tübingen collection.
