Samuel Elisée Bridel-Brideri (28 November 1761 in Crassier, Vaud – 7 January 1828) was a Swiss-German bryologist. He studied at the University of Lausanne, and at the age of 19 began work as a tutor to the princes of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. In 1804, he was appointed ''Geheimer Legationsrath'' to the Privy Council, and later on, he worked as a librarian in the city of Gotha. He was the author of an important work on mosses titled ''Muscologia recentiorum'' (1797-1803), of which several supplements were issued in the ensuing years. Later on, he published the two-volume ''Bryologia universa'' (1826–27), which was an improved edition of his earlier work. In the latter work he introduced a new system for the classification of mosses; a system that is no longer used. The genus '' Bridelia'' was named in his honor by German botanist Carl Ludwig Willdenow (1765-1812). A portion of his herbarium is now housed at the Berlin Botanical Museum, and a number of his scientific papers a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
