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

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).
