Theodor Magnus Fries (28 October 1832 – 29 March 1913), the son of Elias Magnus Fries, was a Swedish botanist and lichenologist.
Following in his father's footsteps, Fries studied botany, obtaining his doctoral degree in 1857 at Uppsala. He became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1865 and professor of botany and applied economics at Uppsala in 1877.[2] His most notable work was Lichenographia scandinavica (1871–1874). He also produced a two-volume biography of Carl Linnaeus (1903).
His sons Thore Christian Elias Fries and Robert Elias Fries also became botanists.
