Paul Graebner

Carl Otto Robert Peter Paul Graebner (29 June 1871 in Aplerbeck – 6 February 1933 in Berlin) was a German botanist.

In 1895 he obtained his doctorate in Berlin, successively working as an assistant and then as curator (1904) at the botanical gardens. During the 1890s he performed botanical investigations in Jerichower Land and Vorharz with Paul Ascherson (1834–1913).[1]

He later became a professor at the Botanical Garden and Museum in Berlin-Dahlem, from where he conducted floristic and phytogeographical research.[2]

gollark: The last thing? We rely on things like semiconductors and complex medical whatever with ridiculously complex global supply chains which require things across the planet.
gollark: However, current technology requires us to operate economic systems at a global scale.
