### Author
Berg, Otto Carl (1815-1866), German botanist, professor of pharmaceutical botany at Berlin University.
**Abbreviated name**: *O. Berg* \[standard form in IPNI: *O.Berg*\]
#### Herbarium and types
Berg's herbarium of Myrtaceae was at [[Collection B|B]] and contained many types. Berg, however, consulted much material obtained on loan and his types may therefore be encountered in several herbaria. The Myrtaceae of the Sonder herbarium consulted by him are e.g. at [[Collection MEL|MEL]] (Anderson 1971). Several isotypes are at [[Collection C|C]].

The plates are numbered *1-82, 31a, 41a, 47a. —* It is unknown to us whether this reprint (*Copy*: HH) was in fact a preprint. The title page is dated "1858" and it seems likely that this was correct notwithstanding the date "1855" cited by PR. McVaugh notes that p. 529-656 contain much information additional to that in the *Revisio* in Linnaea. The 85 plates are nature prints (nos. 1-7) and lithographs.
