List of botanists by author abbreviation (view source)

This is an incomplete list of [[botanist]]s by their [[Author citation (botany)|author abbreviation]], which is designed for citation with the [[botanical name]]s or works that they have published. This list follows that established by Brummitt & Powell (1992).<ref>{{cite book |title=Authors of Plant Names: a List of Authors of Scientific Names of Plants, with Recommended Standard Forms of their Names, Including Abbreviations |editor=R. K. Brummitt & C. E. Powell |publisher=[[Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew]] |year=1992 |isbn=0947643443}}</ref> Use of that list is recommended by [http://ibot.sav.sk/icbn/main.htm Rec. 46A Note 1] of the ''[[International Code of Botanical Nomenclature]]''. The list is kept up to date online at [http://www.ipni.org/ipni/authorsearch?request_type=search&output_format=query&ret_defaults=on The International Plant Names Index] and [http://www.indexfungorum.org/names/AuthorsOfFungalNames.asp Index Fungorum].
Note that in some cases an "author abbreviation" consists of a full surname, while in other cases the surname is abbreviated and/or accompanied by one or more initials. There is no space between the initials and the surname (or its abbreviation).
The list here is maintained strictly in order of the alphabetic characters in the abbreviation; thus "A.B.Jacks." appears under "A" not "J", and is located as if the characters were "ABJACKS". Capitalization is ignored as are all non-alphabetic characters such as "." and a space. Diacritical marks are also ignored, so that, e.g., "ü" is treated as if it were "u".

[[Category:Botanists]]
Note that in some cases an "author abbreviation" consists of a full surname, while in other cases the surname is abbreviated and/or accompanied by one or more initials. There is no space between the initials and the surname (or its abbreviation).
The list here is maintained strictly in order of the alphabetic characters in the abbreviation; thus "A.B.Jacks." appears under "A" not "J", and is located as if the characters were "ABJACKS". Capitalization is ignored as are all non-alphabetic characters such as "." and a space. Diacritical marks are also ignored, so that, e.g., "ü" is treated as if it were "u".
