taxonomist born in Ansbach, Bavaria. Even as a high school student he showed an active interest in botany: "Ich und August Gattinger ... durchstreiften von November 1846 bis zum Spätherbst 1847, Pflanzen sammelnd, die Landschaft von München nach allen Richtungen." ("August Gattinger and I … roamed across the landscape of Munich from November 1846 up to the late autumn 1847, collecting plants, in all directions.").[2]

He studied

fungi
.

His initial studies dealt with

exsiccatae
, e.g. Lichenes Monacenses exsiccati and Lichenes exsiccati. Today this collection is kept at the Botanische Staatssammlung in Munich.

Arnold was the author of Lichenologische Ausflüge in Tirol (Lichenological Excursions in

University of Munich.[4]
Arnold died in Munich in 1901.

Arnold's handwriting is considered exceptionally difficult to read and Hannes Hertel, a director of the Botanische Staatssammlung, devoted significant effort to transcribing Arnold's writing so others could read it.[5] The journal series Arnoldia, named in his honor, started publication in 1991, devoted to describing the labels and annotations of his dried herbarium specimens in the Botanische Staatssammlung.[6] In 2007, Hertel published the lichen genus Farnoldia, named after Ferdinand Christian Gustav Arnold.[7]
