Wilhelm Mönkemeyer

Wilhelm Mönkemeyer (24 December 1862, Stadtoldendorf – 1 March 1938, Leipzig) was a German bryologist.

In 1883–85 he worked as a botanical collector in tropical Africa (present-day Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Nigeria).[1][2] In 1887 he began work as an Obergehilfe (upper assistant) at the botanical garden of Göttingen and from 1889 to 1928 served as a garden inspector at the botanical garden in Leipzig.[3]

His moss herbarium was sold to the Botanical Institute in Hamburg.[3] Taxa with the specific epithet of moenkemeyeri commemorate his name, an example being Riccia moenkemeyeri.[4]

gollark: osmarks.tk, of course, gets the best of all the trendy modern tools with our advanced stack based on Kubernetes (k8s), k3s, Docker, NixOS, a bunch of folders containing systemd service files and code synced to multiple places, and randomly running `scp`.
