Walther Otto Müller Explained

Walther Otto Müller, also Otto Müller, (20 June 1833 – 17 July 1887, in Gera) was a German botanist and gardner.[1] He was mainly interested in Cryptogamae, in particular lichen and mosses. Müller was the author of some books and several articles in scientific and botanical journals. He monochrome illustrated at least one. He collected plants, lichen and mosses for herbaria to sell the exsiccates as loose-leaf-collections.[2] Several of these exsiccatae issued by him are known, among them Die Cladoniaceen von Nord-Deutschland, herausgegeben von W. O. Müller.[3] [4]

The topography of the Gera region provided flora and fauna from lowland and highland at one rich spot. Some of his specimens are housed at the British Museum.
