# List of authors of South African botanical taxa

List of authors of South African botanical taxa is a list of authors who have named South African plants and the standard abbreviations used for those authors in the botanical literature.
The entry for each author is given on a single line showing their name, dates and other names by which they have been known. Following this comes a list of the major groups they have worked on, separated by commas, and finally the standard form for their name (in bold).

## The major groups are

* S - Spermatophytes/Phanerogams (flowering plants and gymnosperms)
* M - Fungi and Lichens (Mycology)
* A - Algae
* P - Pteridophytes
* B - Bryophytes
* F - Fossils
* L - Pre-Linnaean (from 'Stafleu & Cowan 1976)
* C - Cryptogamic (from 'Stafleu & Cowan 1976)
The dates given are those of birth and death where one or both are available. If neither is known, a date on which the author is known to have published a name (usually the earliest if more than one is known) is given preceded by 'fl.' (floruit).
