Axel Gudbrand Blytt

Axel Blytt served with the Christiania Herbarium at the University of Oslo from 1865, first as a conservator, then from 1880 as a professor.

His work Haandbog i Norges flora was completed and published posthumously by botanist Ove Dahl during 1906.

[5] Blyttberget, a high crag southeast of Nordlaguna on the Norwegian island of Jan Mayen, is named for him.

The remaining existent specimens Blytt collected on his studies are held at the Botanical Museum of the University of Oslo.

Though the existing correspondence only provides Lesquereux's letters, he refers to Blytt as "a good Norwegian Botanist I do not know his address in any other way than as you write it.
