Maria Florianivna Makarevych (1906–1989) was a Soviet botanist and lichenologist noted for studying lichens of the Carpathian region, and for publishing multiple influential monographs.[1] The genus Marfloraea is named in her honor.[2] The standard author abbreviation Makar. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[3]
The genus Marfloraea is named after an outstanding Ukrainian lichenologist Maria Florianivna Makarevych (1907–1982), who worked in Kyiv, Ukraine (i.e. after her nick-name "MarFlor", well-known among Eurasian lichenologists of the 20th century), and made important contributions to the revision of the Pertusariaceae, Lecanoraceae and other families of crustose North Eurasian lichens as well as to the geography of lichens in general.
