#### Note
Wilm's father, Friedrich Heinrich Wilms 1811-1880, pharmacist at Münster, assembled a major herbarium which was offered for sale by the son in 1908-1909 (Herbarium 8: 63. 1909, ÖbZ 59: 40. 1909) and by Th. Weigel in 1909 (Herbarium 50: 521. 1919). The collection had been continued by F. Wilms junior and contained 40.000 phanerogams. The bryophytes were combined by Weigel with those of Sydow, and offered for sale separately (Herbarium 52: 15. 1920). Both collections are now at MSTR. Other material of Wilms sen. is at B (mainly destr.) and M. Biography of Wilms sen.: H. Landois, Jahresber. Westfäl. Prov.-Ver. Wiss. Kunst 8: 164-172. 1880; see also GR p. 154.
