Werner Greuter

Swiss botanist.

Werner Rodolfo Greuter (born 27 February 1938 in Genoa, Italy, as a Swiss national) is a botanist. He was the chair of the Editorial Committee for the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) - the Tokyo Code (1994) and the St Louis Code (2000). His proposed policy as regards registration of botanical names proved unpopular and in 1999 he stepped back, not being elected anew: he completed his term as chair to be succeeded at Vienna in 2005. He returned as a member of the editorial committee, contributing to the renamed International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants

Ludwigia grandiflora (Water-primrose) (Michx.) Greuter & Burdet 1987
plant species in the onagraceae family
Ludwigia grandiflora, the water primrose, is an aquatic plant of the order Myrtales. It is closely related and easily confused with Ludwigia hexapetala.

L. grandiflora has villous hairs, smaller flowers and smaller pollen grains. Some authorities consider that these differences are too slight to consider these different species and so separate these taxa as two varieties or two subspecies.
