Dr. Marie Charlotte Brockmann-Jerosch (b. 24 April 1877, Lisbon, d. 14 November 1952, Zürich) was a Swiss botanist noted for her influential research on alpine flora and phylogeography.[1][2] She received her Ph.D. from the University of Zurich in 1905.[3] She was married to Heinrich Brockmann-Jerosch, and in 1913 they both joined the second International Phytogeographic Excursion, a two-month tour of by international scientists of North American biogeography, exploring New York, Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska, and Colorado.[4][5]
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Marie Brockmann-Jerosch wrote, partly in collaboration with her husband Heinrich Brockmann-Jerosch, three influential overview articles on the origin and history of the Swiss alpine flora.
