Philipp Bruch (February 11, 1781 – February 11, 1847) was a German pharmacist and bryologist born in Zweibrücken. His father, Johann Christian Bruch was also a pharmacist. He initially worked at a pharmacy in Mainz, and afterwards studied in Marburg and Paris. Following the death of his father, he inherited the elder Bruch's pharmacy in Zweibrücken at the age of 21. Bruch collaborated with Wilhelm Philippe Schimper (1808–1880) on the epic ''Bryologia europaea'', a six-volume work on European bryology. Also, he described a number of species from the moss genus ''Orthotrichum'' that received valid publication (Bruch ex Brid.) from Swiss bryologist Samuel Elisée Bridel-Brideri (1761–1828). The genus ''Bruchia'' from the family Bruchiaceae is named in his honor. Bruch died on his birthday at the age of 66. == References == * () translated biography @ Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie * (Flora of North America, ''Bruchia'' ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philipp Bruch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
