Harri Lorenzi
Harri Lorenzi (born 1949) is a Brazilian agronomic engineer, author on trees of the Atlantic Mata and a collaborating agronomist of the garden of Fazenda Cresciumal, Ruy De Souza Queiroz. Between his workmanships, he published four books in the end of the 1990s, which consist of: ''Brazilian palms'', ''Brazilian Trees'' (1 and 2, also in English), ''Tropical Plants of Burle Marx'' and ''Brazilian Ornamental Plants''.In 2012, he was honoured when botanist E. G. Gonç. first described and published ''Lorenzia'', which is a genus of plants in the family Araceae.
Dr. Lorenzi's volumes in English on Brazilian trees are a great resource for non-Portuguese-speaking researchers interested in the basic ecology and systematics of tropical lowland trees of South America and each section on a species also relates important information about people's management of trees, from planting and protecting all the way to harvesting. Each section includes scaled illustrations of the leaves, seeds, and fruits of species. His illustrations, also, often show a species out in the open, so its shape is visible. However, it's important to remember that trees that grow in the open because they were left when a field was cleared or sprouted there afterwards have different shape and height than when they grow among groups of trees.
