Species Staberoha vaginata

For Johann Heinrich Julius Staberoh (1785–1857), German pharmacist, medical assessor and co-owner with Georg Friedrich Albrecht Hempel (died 1836) of a chemical factory in Berlin. He was a member of the German Pharmaeutical Society, and a member of the board of examiners and co-workers at the Pharmacopoea Borussica. He published many articles in pharmaceutical journals, and was a co-author with Heinrich Friedrich Link (1767–1851) of Pharmacopoeia Borussica (1829), originally published in Latin. Carl Sigismund Kunth (1788–1850), professor of botany at the University of Berlin, author of the genus name, could have known Staberoh personally. Staberoh seems to have visited Norway and Scotland in 1838 in connection with a typhus epidemic. The Gazette Médical de Paris (1839) reports, ‘Le docteur Staberoh, de Berlin, qui a observé la dernière épidémie de fièvre typhoïde à Glasçow ...’ (‘Dr Staberoh, from Berlin, who observed the last epidemic of typhoid fever in Glasgow.’), but perhaps this was another Staberoh.
