**Abbreviated name**: *Trentep.* \[standard form in IPNI: *Trentep.*\]
#### Herbarium and types
Owned a moss herbarium which came to the museum in Oldenburg (coll. Oldenburg no longer extant) (cf. F. Koppe, 1964).
#### Note
- (1) The entomologist Johann Jacob Trentepohl (*fl*. 1800-1830) collected plants in China and Guinea (specimens at C). Karl Trentepohl listed by LS and Stevenson is an error for J.F. Trentepohl.
#### Note
- (2) Trentepohl left a mss. *Flora von Oldenburg* (at Oldenburg Museum); it was published by Karl Hagena q.v. TL-2/2260 (additional *copies* seen by us: B-S, HH; see also note by D.F.L. von Schlechtendal, Linnaea 13 (Litt.): 168-169. 1840. The preface to the *Flora* contains biographical data on Trentepohl.
