Introduction

Casper van Overeem (1 October 1893 – 27 February 1927) was a Dutch mycologist. He was known for his studies on the fungal flora of Indonesia. He received his PhD from the University of Zurich in 1920, with a dissertation titled Über Formen abweichender Chromosomenzahl bei Oenothera ("About forms differing in chromosome number in Oenothera").
