Jacob Georg Agardh (8 December 1813 in Lund, Sweden – 7 January 1901 in Lund, Sweden) was a Swedish botanist, phycologist, and taxonomist.[1]
He was the son of Carl Adolph Agardh, and from 1854 until 1879 was professor of botany at Lund University.[2][3] Agardh designed the current 1862 blueprints for the botanical garden Botaniska trädgården in Lund.[4]
In 1849, he was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Agardh was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1878.[5] It is said that the naturalist Mary Philadelphia Merrifield learnt Swedish in order that she could correspond with him.[6]
Works
His principal work, Species, Genera et Ordines Algarum (4 vols., Lund, 1848–63), was a standard authority.[2]
