Heinrich Rehm

Heinrich Simon Ludwig Friedrich Felix Rehm (20 October 1828, Ederheim – 1 April 1916, Munich) was a German mycologist and lichenologist. He studied at the University of Erlangen, the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, and Heidelberg University, obtaining his medical doctorate in 1852. During his career, he was a practicing physician in Dietenhofen (from 1854), Sugenheim (from 1857), and Windsheim (from 1871). In 1875, he became regional medical examiner in Lohr am Main.

Starting with 1870 until his death, Rehm distributed fungal specimens in the well-known exsiccata series, Ascomyceten. First alone, later with Ferdinand Christian Gustav Arnold as co-editor he issued the lichen exsiccata Cladoniae exsiccatae (1869-1895).
