Miscellaneous
Brotherus's personal herbarium (comprising 120 000 moss specimens), in particular the extra-European collections, was purchased by the University of Helsinki herbarium (H) and is maintained as a separate collection (H-BR). Exsiccati are deposited in major herbaria around the world (e.g. B, BM, FH, K, L, P). The standard botanical abbreviation of his name is Broth. The journal Bryobrothera, published by the Finnish Bryological Society, is named in his honor. Numerous genera and species of mosses, e.g. Brothera, Brotherella, Brotherobryum, are named for him. Members of his family (see Brotherus) are still resident in Finland today.
The standard author abbreviation Broth. is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.Read more about this topic: Viktor Ferdinand Brotherus
