Austrian botanist (1861-1914).
Ludwig von Sarnthein (4 January 1861, in Hermannstadt – 1 February 1914, in Hall, Tyrol) was a government administrator and botanist from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He obtained his education in Innsbruck, later serving as a government official in Brixen and Trieste (from 1892), Innsbruck (1905) and Ampezzo (1906), where he ultimately attained the rank of Bezirkshauptmann (district governor). With Karl Wilhelm von Dalla Torre, he was co-author of works associated with the flora of Tyrol, Vorarlberg and Liechtenstein. As taxonomists, the two men co-described numerous botanical species.
