Otto Christian Blandow (5 August 1778, Waren – 15 March 1810, Waren) was a German apothecary and botanist, specializing in the field of bryology.
He trained under Joachim Christian Timm (1734-1805) in Malchin, afterwards working as an apothecary in Rostock, Neubrandenburg, Anklam, Woldegk and Waren. [1]
The genus Blandowia was named in his honor by Carl Ludwig Willdenow (1765-1812). [1] He edited two exsiccatae: Musci frondosi exsiccati (1804-1810) [2] and Systematisch-tabellarische Sammlung von Laubmoosen (1808). [3] Since 1875, a collection of his mosses has been kept at the British Museum of Natural History (250 specimens in 5 fascicles). [4]
