Friedrich Wilhelm Noë (1798-1858) was the director of the Botanical Garden of the Imperial School of Medicine founded in 1839 in Istanbul during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II. He came to this charge in 1844. He reorganized the garden and with the specimens he collected, which were identified by E. Boissier in Geneva, he builded in the Imperial School the first Ottoman herbarium he called "Herbier de l'École Impériale de Médecine de Galata-séraï". He was a German plant collector, pharmacist, and practising physician. He was also making meteorological records at his home. He was interested in the flora of Istanbul. He mainly collected from this area between April and August 1844. He has also some other specimens dated 1845 and 1846. He published a list of plants of Istanbul in A. Grisebach's Spicilegium (1843-1845) and another longer one, including plants from Uluda and Bursa, in L. Rigler's Die Türkei und deren Bewohner (1852). In September 1844 and in 1846, he climbed Uluda . His specimens of 1852 were collected during his travel to East Anatolia, when he accompanied, as physician and naturalist, the mission who was charged with the fixation of the Ottoman-Iranian border. They came mainly from Tokat, Sivas, Elaz , Harput, Bak rmaden and Van. Flora of Turkey cites from Noë a specimen of Ankara dated 1844, an undated specimen of zmir and an undated one collected from the Inner Anatolia Salty Lakes region. An undated specimen cited in Flora Orientalis reveals that he also collected from zmit. Türkiye Bitkileri cites his specimen of Gemlik. Noë has distributed his specimens in sets and announced their sale in German or Austrian journals. His Turkish specimens are housed in 19 herbaria of 11 European countries. The herbarium of the Faculty of Science of Ankara University (ANK) holds ca. 60 specimens, mainly from Istanbul. The Imperial School of Medicine, its botanical garden and the herbarium are destroyed in the Beyo lu fire of 1848. The Flora of Turkey cites 80 Turkish specimens of Noë. 36 of them are types. Two of the types are from Istanbul. According to the relatively low number of his specimens cited in the Flora, we think that Noë's Turkish collection is a quite modest one, but rich in types.
