Leopold Loeske (24 October 1865, Hohensalza 29 March 1935, Bad Harzburg) was a German watchmaker and amateur bryologist.

A skilled watchmaker, he was self-taught as a bryologist, collecting moss specimens in Germany, Switzerland and the French Alps during his career. Following World War I, he spent eight years working as a correspondent for a commercial institution due to financial struggles.[1] He joined the British Bryological Society in 1934.[2]

He died at Bad Harzburg while on a collection excursion in the Harz Mountains.[3][4]

The moss genera Loeskeobryum (M.Fleisch. ex Broth. 1925) and Loeskypnum (H.K.G.Paul, 1916) are both named in his honor.[5][6]


Published works


He was the author of 70 published works, including a highly regarded monograph on European Grimmiaceae, "Monographie der europäischen Grimmiaceen" (1930).[1][4] Other books by Loeske include:

Loeske was editor of the bryological journal, Bryologische Zeitschrift.[3]

The standard author abbreviation Loeske is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[9]
