For Ernst Hans Ludwig Krause (1859–1942), German botanist, medical doctor, cryptogamist, prolific batologist (person who studies brambles) and plant collector.
He was a professor of botany at Strasbourg (1904–1914) and Rostock (1919–1933), served in the Naval Medical Corps in Kiel and on the battleship Gneisenau and became a surgeon in Saarlouis and Rostock after World War I. He collected plants in France and Germany in Europe, in Liberia in Africa, the West Indies, and Grenadines and Virgin Islands in the Caribbean (c 1884–1930). He authored Flora of Rostock and The Neighbourhood (1879), Mecklenburg Flora (1893), Rostock Moss Flora (1921–1922) and others. His original general herbarium was deposited at Berlin-Dahlem (1929) as was his bryophyte herbarium of some 2 000 specimens (1935) and his fungal herbarium (1941). The remaining parts, those not destroyed during World War II, are housed in the Mecklenburg Herbarium at the University of Rostock.
