Theodor "Thore" Magnus Fries (28 October 1832 – 29 March 1913), was a Swedish botanist, lichenologist, and Arctic explorer. He was the son of the mycologist Elias Fries.[2]
Following in his father's footsteps, Fries studied botany, obtaining his doctoral degree in 1857 at Uppsala. He became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1865 and professor of botany and applied economics at Uppsala in 1877.[3] His most notable work was Lichenographia scandinavica (1871–1874). He also produced a two-volume biography of Carl Linnaeus (1903).
In 1893-1899, he was Rector (vice-chancellor) of Uppsala University.[4]
Fries was part of two Arctic expeditions led by Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld, in 1868 and 1871.[5]
His sons Thore Christian Elias Fries and Robert Elias Fries also became botanists.
