J. J. Manissadijan

In 1893, he wrote Lehrbücher des Seminars für Orientalische Sprachen zu Berlin Band 11: Mürsid-i lisan-y 'Osmani.

[6] By 1894, he had supplied commercial gardeners in the Netherland, foremost Van Tubergen, with plant material from the Pontus region.

Among those were bulbs of the now locally extinct Sprenger's tulip from the Amasya region,[7] and Allium tubergeni Freyn.

[1] Manissadjian survived the Armenian genocide (between 1915 and 1918) during the First World War, as his mother was German, but he was arrested in late June 1915,[11] and was imprisoned by Ottoman forces.

The college museum closed in 1939, and 130 of Manissadjian's plants went sent to the Herbarium of Ankara University, Faculty of Science.
