Gustav Heinrich Otth
Gustav Heinrich Otth (2 June 1806, Bern – 8 November 1874) was a Swiss mycologist and military officer.[1] He was the brother of naturalist Carl Adolf Otth (1803-1839).[2]
Known for his taxonomic research, Otth described Pucciniastrum,[3] a genus of rust fungi within the family Pucciniastraceae.[4] He was the binomial author of a number of species within the genus Peronospora.[5]
The fungi genus Otthia (Nitschke ex Fuckel) is reportedly named after his brother, naturalist Carl Adolf Otth.[2][6]
