Author abbrev. (botany)Whitlock

Barbara Ann Whitlock (born 1967) [1] is a botanist, who earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University, with her dissertation Systematics and evolution of chocolate and its relatives (Sterculiaceae or Malvaceae s.l.) c. 2000, [2] an interest which continues. [3]

She has been working in the Department of Biology, University of Miami from at least 2015, [3] where she works on tropical (plant) biology, and ecology and evolutionary biology. [4] [5]

Much of her work centres on Malvaceae and related phylogeny. [6] [7] [8] [9]

She has published 39 names, [1] including Androcalva fraseri, and Commersonia borealis. (See also Taxa named by Barbara Ann Whitlock.)

The standard author abbreviation Whitlock is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name. [1]
