America 1888-1889; from 1914-1928 in retirement at Klösterlein bei Aue. **Abbreviated name**: *Röll* \[standard form in IPNI: *Röll*\] #### Herbarium and types [[Collection WB|WB]] (fide IH 1 (ed. 7)); other material at [[Collection B|B]], [[Collection H|H]]-BR (musci), [[Collection PC|PC]], [[Collection PI|PI]], [[Collection S|S]]. #### Note For a fundamental criticism of Röll's ideas and practices in the nomenclature of *Sphagnum* see C. Warnstorff, Verh. bot. Ver. Brandenburg 52: 22-38. 1911 (" sein oft rücksichtloses Vorgehen gegen andere, die seine Ansichten nicht zu teilen vermögen ..."). See e.g. Röll, *Zur Systematik der Torfmoose*, treated below; and Röll (typescript) Antrage betr. Aendrungen und Zusätze zu den internationalen botanischen Regeln in Bezug auf die Nomenclatur der Sphagna (11 p. typescript, n.v.). For a modern evaluation and summary see P. Isoviita (1966): it is proposed to reject the names of Röll's series because they do not apply to species. #### Bibliography and biography Barnhart 3: 169 (b. 31 Oct 1846; d. 21 Nov 1028); Biol – Dokum. 15: 7587-7588; CSP 11: 202, 12: 624, 18: 257-258; DTS 1: 246, 5: lii; Herder p. 266, 433; IH 1 (ed. 7): 341, 2: (files); Kelly p. 193; KR p. 613; Lenley p. 353 (corr. with E.G.
