Daniel Matthias Heinrich Mohr (1780-1808), a young botanist from Schleswig-Holstein, started his career as a pupil of Johann Christian Fabricius in Kiel and Heinrich Adolf Schrader in Göttingen in the late 18th century. Although he became professor of zoology and botany, his research projects focused on algae and bryophytes. He named many species (often together with Friedrich Weber) and was among the first to systematise algae by means of their reproduction.[1]
