Biography
German botanist who collected American plants initially in Costa Rica (1908-1910), where his brother Alfred had a horticultural business, before moving to Brazil where his most important contribution was made. He specialised in orchids and ferns. The Herbário Bradeanum (HB) at Rio de Janeiro and the genus Bradea Standl. ex Brade in the Rubiaceae were dedicated to him.
