Paul Edward Berry

Paul Edward Berry (b. 1952 ) is an American botanist and curator. He is Director of the Wisconsin State Herbarium.[1][2]

He received his PhD. in Botany, from Washington University in St. Louis, in 1980, conducting biogeography studies.

He has worked in taxonomy of the genus Fuchsia L. 1753 ( family Onagraceae ), in 110 species of this ornamental genus, from Neotropic forests, and in New Zealand and Tahiti; studying the molecular taxonomy of Fuchsia and molecular temporal analysis. He published a popular text on Native Fuchsia Species, by Timber Press in 2004.
