He also fabricated a *Taschenbuch der deutschen Flora* Nordhausen 1845, under the pseudonym "Professor Dr Herold." Brandes was one of the other pseudonyms: the man's proper name was either Schöpfer or Schroepfer (see e.g. PR 4004 and Schlechtendal 1847). #### Bibliography and biography BM 1: 221; Jackson p. 293; PR 1083. - Anon., Flora 25: 758. 28 Dec 1842. - Schlechtendal, Bot.
