Theodor Magnus Fries

Swedish lichenologist and biologist (1832-1913).

Theodor "Thore" Magnus Fries (28 October 1832 – 29 March 1913), was a Swedish botanist, lichenologist, and Arctic explorer. He was the son of the mycologist Elias Fries. Following in his father's footsteps, Fries studied botany, obtaining his doctoral degree in 1857 at Uppsala. He is credited for introducing the term phyllocladium in a commentary about the lichen genus Stereocaulon in an 1858 publication. He became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1865 and professor of botany and applied economics at Uppsala in 1877. Fries edited several exsiccata series. His most notable w

plant hybrid species in the poaceae family
× Pucciphippsia vacillans is a member of the nothogenus × Pucciphippsia, formed by the hybridization of Phippsia and Puccinellia. It is a small, perennial grass, which is native to the arctic and grows well in wet conditions. × Pucciphippsia vacillans is entirely sterile, polyploid, and can only be formed as a product of hybridization. There has been difficulty in defining × Pucciphippsia vacillans parent species, and this may be representative broader difficulties in understanding species delineations and phylogenetics among arctic flora.
