Oskar Eberhard Ulbrich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oskar Eberhard Ulbrich (17 September 1879, Berlin – 4 November 1952) was a German botanist and mycologist.

He studied natural sciences at University of Berlin, where his instructors included Adolf Engler (1844–1930) and Simon Schwendener (1829–1919). In 1926 he became a curator and professor at the Botanical Museum in Berlin, where in 1938 he was appointed director of the Hauptpilzstelle.[1]

Known for his intrafamilial investigations of the botanical families Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Caryophyllaceae, in 1934 he subdivided Chenopodiaceae into eight subfamilies; Salicornioideae, Polycnemoideae, Chenopodioideae, Salsoloideae, et al.[2][3]

The plant genus Ulbrichia from the family Malvaceae was named after him by Ignatz Urban (1848–1931).[4]
