Giessen, 1800; physician at Sickershausen 1802; president of the "Leopoldina" 1818-1858; professor of botany at Erlangen (1818-1819), Bonn (1819-1830) and Breslau (1831-1851), formally dismissed 1851. **Abbreviated name**: *Nees* \[standard form in IPNI: *Nees*\] #### Herbarium and types Nees' herbarium which numbered some 80.000 sheets was split up before his death. The "Glumaceae" (Graminae, Cyperaceae, Restionaceae, Juncaceae) including practically all his types of the *Synopsis glumacearum* were acquired by [[Collection B|B]] (9559 specimens, now destroyed) in 1855. A number of Nees' Cyperaceae, however, are in the Lindley herbarium at [[Collection CGE|CGE]]. The fungi, lichens and hepaticae are at [[Collection STR|STR]]. Most of the Musci were also at [[Collection B|B]] (some preserved in herb. Bridel). A set of 2718 specimens was acquired by [[Collection LE|LE]] followed by a further set in 1857/8. Other lots are at [[Collection M|M]] (phanerogams) and [[Collection CGE|CGE]] (grasses, Cyperac. Acanth.), and [[Collection GZU|GZU]] (Acanth., Bombac., Buettner., Laurac., Piperac., Solanac.); [[Collection L|L]] (bryoph., myxophyta, fungi), [[Collection E|E]] (bryoph., fungi), [[Collection HBG|HBG]] (grasses), [[Collection GE|GE]] (some grasses), [[Collection PC|PC]] (hepat.), [[Collection S|S]] (hepat.),[[Collection W|W]] (hepat.),[[Collection G|G]] (bryoph.); further material at [[Collection BM|BM]], [[Collection BR|BR]], [[Collection K|K]], [[Collection PC|PC]], [[Collection PR|PR]], [[Collection TAES|TAES]], [[Collection UPS|UPS]], and [[Collection WRSL|WRSL]]. Some private papers are in the municipal archives of Wroclaw (formerly Breslau). #### Note The splitting up of Nees' herbarium and the sale of his library became necessary because Nees lost his professorship at Breslau in January 1851. The official reason given for the dismissal was moral turpitude and social misbehaviour ("Beamte welche sich... durch wiederträchtige Aufführung verächtlich machen, sollen ihres Amtes entzetzt werden" Preuss. allg. Landrath 363(20)11). This referred to the circumstance that Nees, who had obtained a separation but no divorce from his second wife, had lived eleven years in a free relationship with his third companion. The underlying reason, however, for this belated and at the time unusual puritanism, must be sought in Nees' public attitude during the 1848-1851 disturbances at Breslau university and especially his activity in the so-called christ-katholische Bewegung, led by Johannes Ronge and Johann Cserski, a religious element in the 1848 movement of spiritual and material emancipation of the lesser privileged. See Wunschmann (in ADB), Winkler (1921) and Proskauer (in DSB) for reviews of these turbulent affairs. #### Bibliography and biography ADB 23: 368-376; AG 2(1): 113-114, 2(2): 458; Ainsworth p. 345 \[index\]; Backer p. 391; Barnhart 2: 542; BM 3: 1407-1408; Bossert p. 283; CSP 4: 583-585, 12: 534; DSB 10: 11-14 (bibl.; many sec. refs.!); De Toni I: xc-xci; DTS 1: 211; Frank 3(Anh.): 70-71; GR p. 34, *pl*. \[*15*\], cat. p. 68; Hawksworth p. 184, 196; Hegi 5(1): 51; Herder p. 468; Hortus 3: 1200 ("Nees")' IF p. 722-723; IH 1(ed. 6): 362, 2: (in press); Jackson p. 586 \[index\]; Kew 4: 122-123; KR 1: 204, 456, 467, 531, 552, 612, 2: 614; Langman p. 537; Lasègue p. 184, 320, 328; Lenley p. 464; LS 18827-18838a; Maiwald p. 88, 152, 197, 202; MD p. 186-189; ME 3: 427; Moebius p. 454 \[index\]; MW p. 352; NI 1437-1440; PR 6642-6659, 10769 (ed. 1: 7416-7437); Rehder 5: 611; RS p. 121; SBC p. 128; Stevenson p. 1252; TL-1/422, 798, 912-917, 1401, see Steudel, E.G.; TL-2/see indexes vol. 1 and 2; Tucker 1: 513; Urban-Berl. p. 27, 289, 309-378; Zander ed. 10, p. 696, ed. 11, p. 794. - Anon., Bot.
