Born in Danzig in Prussia (Gdansk, Poland), he settled in Russia (1852) . He participated in numerous expeditions through eastern Siberia, the Crimea, Caucasus, Trans-Caucasus and other regions of Russia, and also through Iran and Turkey, during which he gathered an extensive zoological, botanical and ethnographic collection. He came across a 'skulking warbler in a kitchen garden in the heart of Central Asia' (1856). He collected it and found it to be a hitherto undiscovered species. He settled in Georgia (1863) and founded the Caucasian museum in Tbilisi (1867). He wrote the 2-volume Reisen im Süden von Ost-Sibirien in den Jahren 1855–1859 (1862–1863) and Die Vogelwelt des Kaukasus (1884). He was the first person to give a detailed description of the flora of the Caucasus. He made two further journeys, both as part of the suite of members of the Russian Imperial family; to India and Japan (1895) with the Grand Duke Michael, and with other members of the family to North Africa (1897). Three reptiles, two mammals and an amphibian are named after him.

I just ask myself if there was an additional name Johannes as claimed in German Wikipedia and a (von) Gustav Radde – Wikipedia . The additional name is clamed here Flora of Japan (in English) or Authors of Plant Names or Radde, Gustav Ferdinand Richard Johannes von (1831-1903) on JSTOR as well. Of couse most of the time no Johannes like here heft 31 (1895) - Leopoldina - Biodiversity Heritage Library or here russian form Thematisches Lexikon zu Personen, Institutionen, Orten, Ereignissen

Yes, Radde is given as Gustav Ferdinand Richard Johannes Radde in Mearns and Mearns, 2022, Biographies for Birdwatchers, revised & expanded ed., I, pp. 264-267.
 
FamilySearch has the following, which is taken from a German baptism record (which unfortunately cannot be seen -- not even when you are logged in) :

It's his birth date, so I assume this must be him. No "Johannes" here, thus -- and, actually, not even a "Ferdinand"...

In Russian, he was indeed known as Gustav Ivanovich (von) Radde (Густа́в Ива́нович (фон) Ра́дде), where "Ivanovich" is a patronymic formed from his father's first name Johann. I can't tell for sure, but it would not be the first time that I would see a patronymic, introduced as part of the process of Russifying a western-style name, ending up de-Russified and unduly incorporated as an additional given name in a person's original name...

"Olga-Olena Gustavivna Radde wurde am 8. April 1876 in Tiflis, Russisches Reich
(jetzt Tbilisi, Georgien) geboren. Ihr Vater - Gustav Iwanowitsch Ferdinand Radde
(Danzig 1831 - Tiflis 1903.) Ihre Mutter - Marie Amalie Fjodorowna Radde - war die Tochter des berühmten
Paläozoologen und Zoogeographen, Akademiemitglieds an der AW in St. Petersburg,
Johann Friedrich Brandt (Jüterbog 1802 - Merreküll/Estl. 1879), eine hochgebildete
Frau, die mehrere Fremdsprachen beherrschte, ausgezeichnet zeichnen konnte und
ihrem zukünftigen Schwiegersohn, A. W. Fomin, die Pflanzen für seine "Illustrierte
Flora des Kaukasus" zu zeichnen half."


The birth date for Marie Amalie must be wrong as Brandt was married in 1831 and she was his eldest daughter see here


Her sister Anna Wilhelmina Kuhn (Brandt) was born August 27, 1835.

So far as I can see, however, it cannot be confirmed from the letter itself that this "eldest daughter" was Marie Amalie. (In the letter -- second page, lines 3-4 -- Brandt merely writes "in Begleitung meiner ältesten Tochter"; the name was added by the person who wrote the abstract for the website.)

Here, Marie Amalie is given as Brandt's youngest daughter -- "Die jüngste Brandt-Tochter: Marie Amalie *1839 †1932".
Here, 1863 is presented as the date of her marriage, rather than the date of her birth.

(As an aside, Brandt's wife was -- as per their grave -- born in 1810, which also makes it rather unlikely (even if not impossible) that she might have given birth to a daughter as late as 1863.)

That Grave site is odd grave clearly says birth of wife 28 April 1810 but if you click on the grave picture it leads to another page that says wife was born May 1811. Unless Russia was providing uterus transplants back then 52 is awfully old for the birth of Maria.
