In 1843 he started the weekly Botanische Zeitung in conjunction with Schlechtendal,
which he edited jointly till his death. He was never a great writer of
comprehensive works; no text-book exists in his name, and it would
indeed appear from his withdrawal from co-operation in Hofmeister's
Handbuch that he had a distaste for such efforts. In 1850, he was
elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In
his latter years his productive activity fell off, doubtless through
failing health, and he died suddenly at Tübingen on 1 April 1872.
The standard author abbreviation Mohl is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.
