**Abbreviated name**: *F. Rosen* \[standard form in IPNI: *F.Rosen*\]
#### Herbarium and types
[[Collection WRSL|WRSL]].
#### Notes
- (1) After the death of Cohn (1898) Rosen had to leave the Breslau botanical institute from 1901-1906 because of difficulties with J.O. Brefeld. He returned only on 1 Apr 1906 as professor and director of the institute for plant physiology. The press notices of his appointment as extraordinary professor in 1902 are therefore not quite clear.
- (2) Friedrich Rosén (baron) (1834-1903) was a Russian (b. St. Petersburg)
palaeobotanist.
