Gustav Adolf Hugo Dahlstedt (8 February 1856, Linköping – 2 October 1934, Lidingö) [1] was a Swedish botanist who worked at the Bergianska Trädgården and Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet in Stockholm.
Dahlstedt specialized in research of the plant genera Taraxacum and Hieracium, of which he circumscribed many species.
[2] The botanical genus Dahlstedtia from the subfamily Faboideae is named in his honor, as are taxa with the specific taxa of dahlstedtii, an example being Taraxacum dahlstedtii, a plant sometimes referred to as "Dahlstedt's dandelion".
[3] Dahlstedt edited several exsiccata series focussed on Hieracium and Taraxacum specimens, namely Herbarium Hieraciorum Scandinaviae distributed from 1892 until 1911 and Taraxaca Scandinavica exsiccata.
