Johannes Musæus Norman (1823–1903) was a Norwegian botanist, trained as a medical doctor.[1]
Norman was the son of a priest, took artium in 1840 and graduated in medicine in 1847. After a short time as a military doctor in the First Schleswig War, he worked from 1849–1857 exclusively with botany. Partly on exploration trips in Gudbrandsdalen, in Western Norway and in Western Finnmark; partly during further education in Paris and Vienna and partly as a research fellow at University of Oslo. He also completed this chapter of his life, and trained as a forester in 1858–1860, in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria. Upon his return, he was appointed Forester in Troms and Finnmark, a position he held from 1860–1876.[2] He is credited for introducing the lichen term campylidium in an 1872 publication.[3]
