# Lynn Bohs

Lynn A. Bohs-Sperry (1957 ) es una botánica estadounidense, experta en la familia de las solanáceas y profesora asociada en el Departamento de Biología de la Universidad de Utah.

## Biografía

Obtuvo su doctorado en la Universidad de Harvard, en 1986. Posteriormente ha desarrollado su tarea científica, tanto de campo como de gabinete, en el herbario, de la Universidad de Utah, como taxónoma, especialmente de las especies de los clados Cyphomandra y Leptostemonum. También ha trabajado en la filogenia molecular de los grupos del género Solanum. Ha recorrido en expediciones botánicas a Ecuador, Brasil, Colombia, y su propio país.
