Alexei Ivanovich Vvedensky (Russian: Алексей Иванович Введенский) was a Russian botanist.

He was an expert on the genera Allium and Tulipa. He carried out extensive explorations of Uzbekistan[1] and compiled the 1941-1962 'Flora Uzbekistana in conjunction' with R.R. Schreder and E.P. Korovin.[2]

He also contributed to the Tajikistan flora section, 'Flora Tadzhikskoj SSR' (which was edited by P.N. Ovczinnikov, 1963) and the Kyrgyzstan flora, 'Flora Kirgiskoj SSR' (1950-1962) with B.K. Shishkin. He published a manual of Central Asian plants (in Russian) with R.V. Kamelin. An English edition of his treatment of the genus Allium from the 'Flora of the USSR' (1935) was then published in 1944 (with an English translation by H.K.A. Shaw).[3][2]

Vvedensky was a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.[2]

The standard author abbreviation Vved. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[4]

Among the species named in his honour is 'Vvedensky's Tulip', Tulipa vvedenskyi Botschantz.[5][6][7]

446 names of plant species have been published by Vvedensky.[8]
