Matteo Botteri

[citation needed] He began his early career in Dalmatia and nearby areas in the Ottoman Empire[2] with flora and fauna, primarily ichthyologist investigations,[1] while headquartered in Hvar.

[3] He, along with his contemporary Grgur Bučić [hr], sent materials to Georg von Frauenfeld for his studies.

In 1854, he travelled to Mexico to collect plants on behalf of the Royal Horticultural Society.

[8][9] He amassed a collection of 120 unique bird species in the vicinity of Orizaba,[10] including areas such as Tuxpango, Tehuipango.

[11] His keeping of slaty vireo brought attention as its green color stood out among its genus.
