List of South African plant botanical authors

List of South African plant botanical authors is a list of abbreviations of authors who have named South African plants.

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 Groupsthey have worked on, separated by commas, and finally the Standard Form for their name (in bold).

The major groups are:

*S - Spermatophytes (flowering plants and gymnosperms)
*M - Fungi and Lichens (Mycology)
*A - Algae
*P - Pteridophytes
*B - Bryophytes
*F - Fossils
*L - Pre-Linnaean (from Taxonomic Literature by F.A.Stafleu & R.S.Cowan, 1976-88)
*C - Cryptogamic (ditto)

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).
