Roem.* \[standard form in IPNI: *M.Roem.*\] #### Herbarium and types Unknown. – Roemer's library was sold by auction after his death. #### Note Part of the mystery surrounding this author has been cleared by Müllerott (1975). Even so the biographical details remain scarce. Apparently Roemer was a country judge at Aub who was "relieved" of his duties and who then settled in Würzburg. #### Bibliography and biography Barnhart 3: 170; BM 4: 1720; CSP 5: 267; Herder p. 474 (index); Hortus 3: 1202; Jackson p. 39, 121; Kew 4: 502; Langman p. 638; MW p. 416; PR 7716-7718, ed. 1: 8675-8677; Rehder 1: 87, 261, 299; RS p. 137; TL-1/1099; Tucker 1: 604; Zander ed. 10, p. 708, ed. 11, p. 808. #### Biofile - Müllerot, M., Hoppea 34: 307-308. 1975 (biogr. details; with Nachschrift by M.G.
