Lujo Adamović  Lujo Adamović (Rovinj, Austrian Empire, 31 July 1864 - Dubrovnik, Kingdom of Yugoslavia 19 July 1935) was a Serbian botanist and plant collector who was a leading authority regarding the genus Hieracium, recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Adamović was born in Rovinj, where his father Vicko Adamović was on a short term of service,and grew up in Dubrovnik. He received his education in Belgrade (1888), Vienna and in Berlin (1898), where he wrote his Ph.D. dissertation entitled "Die Vegetationsverhaltnisse Ostserbiens". His professors were Anton Kerner von Marilaun and Adolf Engler. After graduation, Adamović worked as a Royal Serbian School Board high school teacher in the various towns in southern Serbia, such as Zaječar, Pirot, Gornji Milanovac and Vranje. From 1901 to 1905 Adamović was director of the Jevremovac Botanical Garden of the University of Belgrade. He lived temporarily in Vienna and Italy. Adamović was a private lecturer in phytogeography at the University of Vienna. In 1907, as an associate member of the Yugoslav Academy of Science and Arts and Sciences in Zagreb, he published papers on the flora of Dalmatia, Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro. Adamović mainly dealt with the vegetation of the Balkan Peninsula. In his time he was one of the best experts in the vegetation and flora of Southeast Europe and has written fundamental works on the subject. In the mentor Richard Wettstein, he had an important advocate for his research stays in the regions of the Danube lowlands, Romania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Thrace, Thessaly, as well as the Apennine Peninsula, through which he got a comprehensive knowledge of the plant formations of Southeast Europe and the Mediterranean region. In particular, his knowledge of the flora and vegetation of Dalmatia, Bosnia, and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania were fundamental. Adamović coined the terms "Šibljak" and "pseudomacchie" for shrubbery formations of these karst countries of the Dinarides, which have found their way into the terminology of vegetation geography. From 1896 to 1910, he was the editor of the desiccate work "Plantae balcanicae exsiccatae".
