# Heidi Marguerite Anderson

Heidi Marguerite Anderson (1944) es una botánica, brióloga, y paleobotánica sudafricana.
Desde 1978, trabaja con base en el Instituto de Investigación Botánica, Pretoria y recolectando ampliamente en la Formación Molteno del Triásico Tardío. Ha publicado floras del Gondwana Triásico incluyendo interacciones del Triásico planta-insecto.
