German pharmacist, notary and bryologist in Mecklenburg. **Abbreviated name**: *Bland.* \[standard form in IPNI: *Blandow*\] #### Herbarium and types The location of Blandow's original herbarium is unknown. Dr. E. Kühner of Rostock informs me that Blandow's original collections are not in [[Collection ROST|ROST]], at least not recognizably. Some material is at [[Collection B|B]], [[Collection BERN|BERN]], [[Collection BM|BM]] and [[Collection W|W]]. Authentic material was included in his *Musci frondosi exsiccati* (fasc. 1-6, nos. 1-300 Neustrelitz 1804-1810). For information on these exsiccata see Sayre \[published: fasc. 1, 19 Mai 1804, 2, 28 Apr 1805, 3, 20 Jun 1807, 4, 20 Jul 1807, 5, 16 Apr 1808, 6, 20 Jun 1810, n.v.\]. Blandow himself, in the preface to his *Mecklenburgische Moose* (1809) states that a major part of the mosses treated in this pamphlet have been deposited "in schönen und instruktiven Exemplaren" in Detharding: *Herbarium Rostochiense Florae Megapolitanae*. A volume "Systematisch-tabellarische Sammlung" von Laubmoosen is at [[Collection BM|BM]]. *Ref*.: IH 2: 78. - Blandow, Bot. Zeit.
