**Abbreviated name**: *Motelay* \[standard form in IPNI: *Motelay*\]
#### Herbarium and types
[[Collection BORD|BORD]]. – Correspondence also at [[Collection BORD|BORD]]; 30 letters to Malinvaud at [[Collection P|P]]. Motelay acquired a large part of J. E. Duby's European mosses which included material from the Hedwig-Schwägrichen herb, (see J. Hedwig). The same holds for the herbarium of C. R. A. Des Moulins, which also reached [[Collection BORD|BORD]] via Motelay. – Further material at [[Collection AUT|AUT]], [[Collection B|B]], [[Collection BR|BR]], [[Collection DBN|DBN]], [[Collection G|G]], [[Collection LIVU|LIVU]], [[Collection MW|MW]], [[Collection OXF|OXF]], [[Collection QK|QK]].
