Otto Christian Blandow
Otto Christian Blandow (5 August 1778, Waren – 15 March 1810, Waren) was a German apothecary and botanist, specializing in the field of bryology.
He trained under Joachim Christian Timm (1734-1805) in Malchin, afterwards working as an apothecary in Rostock, Neubrandenburg, Anklam, Woldegk and Waren.[1]
The genus Blandowia was named in his honor by Carl Ludwig Willdenow (1765-1812).[1] Since 1875, a collection of his mosses has been kept at the British Museum of Natural History (250 specimens in 5 fascicles).[2]
