Chōzaburō Tanaka (田中 長三郎, Tanaka Chōzaburō), often Romanized as Tyôzaburô Tanaka[1] (November 3, 1885 in Osaka – June 28, 1976), was a Japanese botanist and mycologist.
He established one of the two major taxonomic classification systems for citrus and related genera currently in use,[2][3] and is now considered to be a taxonomic "splitter".
Many of the species Tanaka described are still recognized, but his overall scheme is not supported by modern genetic research.
[3] With Yaichi Shimada, Tanaka issued and distributed specimens in a numbered series resembling an exsiccata under the title Flora of Taiwan.
