August Wulfhorst (1861-1936), a German missionary attached
to the Rheinische Missionsgesellschaft, collected material in
omupanda (Amboland, Uukuanyama), which is located in
present-day Angola. In the past, botanical collections from this
area were wrongly proposed as originating from Namibia, so
obscuring the occurrence of several taxa north of the borders
of this former German colony, in Angola.

Introduction
Towards the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, a significant number of papers on the African flora, particularly from southern Africa, were published by Hans Schinz,
a well-known professor of botany at the University of Zürich,
Switzerland (see for example SCHINZ, 1896, 1903b; STAFLEU &
CoWAN, 1985). Schinz (1858-1941) visited southern Africa from
1884 to 1887 and spent seven months in ovamboland in South
West Africa, present-day Namibia (GUNN & CoDD, 1981). There
he was assisted by the Finnish Missionary Martti Rautanen
(1845-1926) whose interest in plant collecting was stimulated
through his contact with Schinz. Later, Rautanen and Moritz
Kurt Dinter (1868-1945) provided further specimens collected
in South West Africa for Schinz’s taxonomic studies. A lesser
known collector who also gathered material for Schinz from this
area was August Wulfhorst (1861-1936). Most of his specimens
are recorded as having originated from “Amboland, Uukuanyama, omupanda” and were cited by Schinz as occurring in
South West Africa, at the time a German colony. However, omupanda is located in present-day Angola. This has been overlooked in the literature on the flora of Angola.
Historical Background
August Wulfhorst was born on 12 March 1861 in Gütersloh in Germany and became a missionary of the Rheinische
Missionsgesellschaft, after which he travelled to German South
West Africa in 1890 to establish a Rhenish mission. Soon after
arriving, Wulfhorst and another Rhenish missionary by the
name of Meisenholl, established a mission station at ondjiva
in 1891 (DIERKS, 2003-2004). ondjiva is situated in presentday Angola. The following year a second mission was established at omupanda, a locality between ondjiva and Namacunde, at a latitude of 17º08’S, which also falls within the
borders of Angola. In 1892 Wulfhorst married Thusnelda Härlin (DIERKS, 1999-2005, 2003-2004). He collected plant specimens that he sent to Schinz in Zürich, and a large quantity of
ethnological material (G UNN & CoDD, 1981). Regrettably,
his photographs were kept in the photographic archives of
the Rhenish missions in Germany, which was destroyed
during the Second World War. None of his photos survived
(VILHUNEN, 1995), but some fortunately appeared in a book
called Ovamboland (TöNJES, 1911). Hermann Tönjes was also
a Rhenish Missionary in the Kwanyama area who later became
commissioner at Lüderitz (D IERKS, 1999-2005). He was stationed at omupanda from 1899 to 1907. During that period
Wulfhorst was on leave in Germany for c. two and a half years,
in 1900-1902 (T öNJES, 1911). Tönjes’ book provides an
account of the establishment of the Rhenish missions in
ovamboland. Wulfhorst is credited for providing photographs
for the book, even though it is not clear whether all the
photographs are his. The church of the omupanda mission is
depicted in one of the photos. The mission had to be closed in
1917 due to an increase in hostilities in the area (GUNN &
CoDD, 1981) and from 1919 to 1927 Wulfhorst was stationed
in Karibib (DIERKS, 2003-2004). He eventually returned to
Gütersloh (Germany) where he died on 28 September 1936.
SCHINZ (e.g. 1903b) cited the Wulfhorst collections as originating from German South West Africa and not Angola. This
is not surprising, considering the historical background of the
area. on 30 December 1886 Portugal and Germany signed the
German-Portuguese Boundary Convention. An arbitrary border between Angola and German South West Africa was then
agreed upon. This border was defined by mapmakers and had
little immediate effect in the field. However, it would have a
tremendous effect on the local ovambo people, as it caused
the splitting of the Kwanyama Kingdom. At the time of
Wulfhorst’s activity, Ueyulu ya Hedimbi, who reigned from
1884 to 1904 was the Kwanyama King. on their arrival in
ovamboland Wulfhorst and Meisenholl were invited by King
Ueyulu to establish their mission at ondjiva, then the capital
of the Kingdom (DIERKS, 1999-2005). King Ueyulu’s photograph appears in TöNJES (1911) book, and the photograph was
probably taken by Wulfhorst. The town of ondjiva retains its
name today, after a few decades of colonial rule when it was
known as Pereira d’Eça. In the late 19th century, Lutheran
churches had a strong presence in the area (DUPARQUET, 1953).
In the years that followed the establishment of the Rhenish
missions, both Portuguese and Germans tried to subjugate the
Kwanyama to extend their power and consolidate their presence in the area. King Nande who succeeded King Ueyulu in
a short reign (1904-1911) that ended with his death, managed
to independently negotiate with both sides to obtain protection
from the other. Meanwhile, the border between Namibia and
Angola remained under dispute with no end in sight. The
disputed area between latitudes 17º17’10’’S and 17º23’10’’S
(a strip c. 13 km wide) was then considered a neutral zone.
In 1911, at a very young age, Mandume ya Ndemufayo (c.
1894-1917) became King (S HIWEDA, 2005). As the First World
War was raging in Europe, he attacked Portuguese outposts
but was defeated in August 1915 after a three-day battle against
about 7,000 Portuguese troops lead by General Pereira d’Eça
(who would later be commemorated in ondjiva’s colonial
name). Mandume signed a treaty with the British South African
Administration and had to move the capital of his Kingdom
further south, to oihole (SHIWEDA, 2005), a locality that was
in the area claimed by the Germans but is now in Angola, near
the border with Namibia, 6 km north of odibo in Namibia. He
was also made to relinquish power over his subjects in the area
dominated by the Portuguese. Mandume did not submit to the
colonial powers and after refusing to surrender his weapons
to South Africa, an expeditionary force (the ‘owamboland
Expedition’) attacked oihole in 1917. Mandume was found

dead a few days after the battle, the reason for his death being
unclear. Mandume’s death caused a vacancy in the throne of
the Kwanyama Kingdom that was to last over 80 years. These
confrontations took place not far from the Rhenish missions
and resulted in their closure. At this time Wulfhorst left the
region. The omupanda mission was later taken over by the
Roman Catholic Church (I GREJA EVANGÉLICA LUTERANA DE
ANGoLA). The border between the colonies was only officially
accepted in 1922, when Portugal’s claim to the neutral zone
succeeded. It was defined along the latitude 17º23’23’’S
between the rivers Cunene/Kunene and Cubango/okavango,
and it was officially demarcated in 1928.
Collections from Omupanda
No collections by Wulfhorst have previously been recorded
from Angola in the literature on the flora of that country.
Wulfhorst was also not listed as an Angolan collector
(FIGUEIREDo & SMITH, 2008). The herbarium of the University of Zürich (Z) holds the first set of Wulfhorst collections.
other herbaria that hold duplicates of his collection are K and
BM. When this study was initiated only 20 specimens appeared
in the Z database; after investigation in the literature further
specimens were located and included in that database. In 1898
Schinz received from Wulfhorst a total of 172 numbers of
herbarium specimens, some of them consisting of up to four
Fig. 1. – Original and replacement labels of the holotype of Wulfhorstia spicata C. DC.
sheets, as stated in the annual report of the Botanical Garden
and Botanical Museum of the University of Zürich for that particular year. It is stated that these specimens were received
from “missionary Wulfhorst, omupanda” and that they stem
from “Amboland”. So far, no correspondence between Schinz
and Wulfhorst has been located in the extensive archives of
Schinz kept at the Herbarium of the University of Zurich (Z),
nor at the manuscript department of the Zentralbibliothekt
Zürich (www.zb.uzh.ch) where part of the correspondence of
Hans Schinz is deposited.
Most of Wulfhorst’s specimens that can be examined online
do not carry the original labels (Fig. 1-2); instead standard handwritten labels of unknown origin and reading “Botanische Sammlungen der Universität Zürich. Amboland: Uukuanjama, omupanda 1898. Leg. Wulfhorst” are affixed to them. original labels
are attached to some specimens, but they are hardly legible. Several discrepancies were found between the original and replacement labels, such as collecting date. Replacement labels indicate
a collecting date of 1898, but where original labels are present
they show an earlier date. It is now confirmed that the date of
1898 refers to the date when the material was received at Z,
which corresponds to a common practice among European
herbaria at that time. The collecting numbers listed by Schinz,
as well as the numbers in some labels, are also doubtful and may
refer to batches of specimens, since the same number is used for
126 – Candollea 68, 2013

and replacement labels.
plants of different families. Nevertheless, all specimens that
have a standard label, and those cited by Schinz, have as locality ‘omupanda’, which may indicate that further information
on their origin was obtained by Schinz through other means
(such as correspondence). In spite of the discrepancies in the
data, all these Wulfhorst specimens originate from present-day
Angola, as both missions where he is known to have worked
(ondjiva and omupanda) are situated in that country. At present, some 34 species from 14 families are represented as
herbarium specimens collected by Wulfhorst. In addition to
the specimens stored at the herbarium of the University of
Zürich (Z) at least two duplicates were provided, presumably
by Schinz, to the herbarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens,
Kew (K), and the holotype of Melanthera schinziana S. Moore
(Asteraceae) [= Melanthera triternata (Klatt) Wild] at BM
which was received from Schinz in 1903 has apparently no
duplicates. The examination of these collections brought to
light four overlooked new records from literature for the flora
of Angola (see Table 1) and a further four possible new records
requiring confirmation of the identifications.
The Finnish Missionary Rautanen also appears to have collected some specimens in omupanda. For example, Rautanen
323, a type of Wulfhorstia spicata C. DC., has a label indicating ‘omupanda’ and the date 22 September 1900. on the other
hand, the syntypes of Hemizygia serrata Briq., collected by
Rautanen, that were cited in the protologue of that species
(S CHINZ, 1903b: 996) as originating from omupanda were
apparently misrecorded. one of these specimens, Rautanen
s.n. dated 1900 (Z-000018796) has an original label reading
ondonga (located in Namibia). Although it has been recorded
in the literature that Rautanen spent the years 1891-1903 in
Finland (e.g. GUNN & CoDD, 1981; ZüRICH HERBARIUM DATABASE), other sources (DIERKS, 1999-2005) indicate that he
moved to olukonda in 1880 and spent the rest of his life there.
In fact, there are several Rautanen collections from Namibia
in the period 1891-1903 (see JSToR PLANT SCIENCE and
CATALoGUE DES HERBIERS DE GENèVE).
The missionary Tönjes, who was based at omupanda in
1899-1907 (see above) also appears to have sent collections
to Schinz. He was commemorated in Celosia toenjesii Schinz
(= Hermbstaedtia argenteiformis Schinz). In the protologue
of this name (S CHINZ, 1903a), Schinz cites as specimens
‘Wulfhorst 19 und 25, Tönjes’. Wulfhorst 19 is recorded as
collected by Wulfhorst in 1895. The other number seems to
correspond to a collection registered in Z as Z-000000273.
This collection consists of two sheets, both with a type label;
one was collected in 1900 by “Mission Tönjes”, while the other
one has an original label dated 1895 that proposes Wulfhorst
as collector, with no mention of Tönjes. The number 25 was
added to these two sheets in a different handwriting and does
not appear to be the original collection number. These specimens are not duplicates of the same collection.
