[1] was a
Swedish
botanist and

doctorate degree in 1932.
[2] He became professor of

Uppsala University in 1939, a position he held until his retirement in 1970.
[1] He did numerous studies on the
systematics of
fungi and
vascular plants . Among the groups he treated were the
plant pathogenic
rust fungi ,
[3]
smut fungi
[4] and
Exobasidium .
[5] He also treated
taxonomy and
biogeography of various groups of vascular plants, e.g. the arctic
Poa laxa
complex .
[6]
Nannfeldt published the
exsiccata work Fungi Exsiccati Suecici, praesertim Upsalienses together with Lennart Holm and others.

He was elected member no. 983 of the
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1955.
The fungal genus
Nannfeldtiella was named in his honour by Franz Petrak in 1947, (now listed as a
synonym of
Pseudombrophila aggregata (Eckblad) Harmaja .
[8] ) then in 1960, mycologist
Richard Korf circumscribed
Jafnea , which is a
