Gudrun Kadereit (born 1969) [2] is a German botanist, the Princess Therese von Bayern Chair of Systematics, Biodiversity and Evolution of Plants at the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich and the director of both the Botanical Garden Munich-Nymphenburg and the Botanical State Collection Munich. [3] [1]
Her research focuses on angiosperm phylogenetics, systematics and biogeography, in particular on the families Amaranthaceae, Melastomataceae, Crassulaceae, Aizoaceae and Zygophyllaceae but also on the evolution of C4 photosynthesis and Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) and the evolution of seed traits.
Diederich Franz Leonhard von Schlechtendal was a German botanist. The standard author abbreviation Schltdl. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.
Heinrich Ludwig Hermann Müller was a German botanist who provided important evidence for Darwin's theory of evolution.
August Heinrich Rudolf Grisebach was a German botanist and phytogeographer.
Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler was a German botanist. He is notable for his work on plant taxonomy and phytogeography, such as Die natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien, edited with Karl A. E. von Prantl.
Günther Ritter Beck von Mannagetta und Lerchenau was an Austrian botanist.
Nikolai Stepanovich Turczaninow was a Russian botanist and plant collector who first identified several genera, and many species, of plants.
Kenneth D. Hill was an Australian botanist, notable for his work on eucalypts, the systematics, evolution and conservation of the genus Cycas, as well as on botanical informatics.
Christian Casimir Brittinger was a German botanist, entomologist and ornithologist.
Christian Julius Wilhelm Schiede was a German physician and botanist born in Kassel.
Rune Bertil Nordenstam is a Swedish botanist and professor emeritus at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in the Department of Phanerogamic Botany. He has worked with Colchicaceae, Senecioneae and Calenduleae, was the editor of Compositae Newsletter newsletter since 1990, and is a Tribal Coordinator for The International Compositae Alliance with responsibility for the tribes Calenduleae and Senecioneae.
Walter Max Zimmermann was a German botanist and systematist. Zimmernann’s notions of classifying life objectively based on phylogenetic methods and on evolutionarily important characters were foundational for modern phylogenetics. Though they were later implemented by Willi Hennig in his fundamental work on phylogenetic systematics, Zimmermann's contributions to this field have largely been overlooked. Zimmermann also made several significant developments in the field of plant systematics such as the discovery of the telome theory. The standard botanical author abbreviation W.Zimm. is applied to species he described.
Johannes (Johann) Flüggé was a German botanist and physician who was a native of Hamburg. He undertook botanical excursions from 1792 to Heligoland and Neuwerk.
Edward Johnston Alexander was an American botanist who discovered three species and one genus. He is the author or one of the authors of 205 entries in the International Plant Names Index. He was born in Asheville, North Carolina and studied at North Carolina State University from 1919 to 1923. He was a longtime assistant and curator at New York Botanical Garden (NYBG), originally under the guidance of Small. While at the NYBG, he served as an editor of the Garden's botanical journal Addisonia for about thirty years, until the journal ceased publication in 1964.
Friedrich August Georg Bitter was a German botanist and lichenologist.
Adalbert Carl Friedrich Hellwig Conrad Schnizlein was a German botanist and pharmacist. He is largely remembered for his work in the fields of plant taxonomy and phytogeography.
Klaus Kubitzki was a German botanist. He was Emeritus professor in the University of Hamburg, at the Herbarium Hamburgense. He is known for his work on the systematics and biogeography of the angiosperms, particularly those of the Neotropics, and also the floristic record of the Tertiary era. His plant systematic work is referred to as the Kubitzki system. He was a member of the American Society of Plant Taxonomists.
Franz Oberwinkler was a German mycologist, specialising in the fungal morphology, ecology and phylogeny of basidiomycetes.
Percy Wilson (1879–1944) was an American botanist.
Wendell Holmes "Red" Camp was an American botanist, explorer, taxonomist, educator, and expert of the genus Vaccinium.
