Father Franz Xaver Freiherr von Wulfen was born in Belgrade, son of the Austrian lieutenant field-marshal, Christian Friedrich von Wulfen. After studies at Kaschau, Hungary, he joined Jesuits in 1745, studied and taught at the Theresianum in Vienna, at Graz, Neusohl, Gorz, Lailbach, and from 1764, when the Jesuits were suppressed, until his death, at Klagenfurt. A distinguished scholar and botanist especially of the Eastern Alps. Many plants bear the species or subspecies name "Wulfenii" in his honor, and the mineral Wulfenite, an oxide of lead and molybdenum, recalls his mineralogical research. Two species of the genus Wulfenia are represented philatelically W. carinthiaca from Austria, and W. baldacii from Albania. Other stamps and souvenir sheets below illustrate the mineral Wulfenite.
