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 (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.
