Adolf Hugo Magnusson (1 March 1885Шаблон:Spnd14 July 1964) was a Swedish naturalist who specialized in lichenology. He was a school teacher in Gothenburg from 1909 to 1948, but spent his spare time on the study of lichens. He described about 900 new taxa, specializing in the genera Lecidea, Lecanora, Caloplaca, and Acarospora.

Life and career

Magnusson began studying botany at Uppsala University in 1904, but was forced to cancel his studies for financial reasons after only a year and instead became educated as a primary school teacher. In 1909 he was enrolled at the University of Gothenburg, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in philosophy in 1913 and a philosophy degree in 1914. He worked as a schoolteacher until his retirement.

Magnusson became an internationally renowned lichenologist who described about 900 species in about 150 scientific publications. He studied all kinds of lichens, but was particularly interested in crustose lichens such as Acarospora, Caloplaca, Lecanora, Lecidea, and Rinodina. Magnusson identified more than 900 lichen specimens collected by Finnish amateur botanist Шаблон:Ill during the Yenisey river expedition in 1876.

Among Magnusson's publications is a monograph on the lichens in Hawaii, and a review of the lichens collected by Sven Hedin in Central Asia. He became an honorary doctor of philosophy at Uppsala University in 1932 and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Gothenburg in 1956. Magnusson's collections, numbering around 70,000 specimens, are kept at Uppsala University.
