Wilhelm Lorch (11 May 1867, in Marburg – 1954, in Berlin) was a German bryologist known for his research involving the anatomy of mosses.

He studied botany in Munich, receiving his doctorate in 1894 with the thesis "Beiträge zur Anatomie und Biologie der Laubmoose". Up until 1932, he worked as a schoolteacher in Marburg and Berlin.[1]

gollark: It's probably better to work on simple projects than try and memorize syntax or something though.
