This improved his skill in botanical illustration, which he used e.g. to illustrate vol. I. of Martius, *Nova genera et species plantarum* (1823-1826) q.v. His early work on cryptograms (see below no. 529) paved the way for Hofmeister. #### Eponymy *Bischoffia* Decaisne (1842, *orth. var.*): *Bischofia* Blume (1827); *Bischofioxylon* C. G. K.
