Bengt Anders Euphrasén (born 1756 in the parish of Habo, historical province of Västergötland, Sweden; died 25 December 1796 in Stockholm) was a Swedish botanist.[1][2]
Euphrasén studied at the veterinary school in Skara and then entered Uppsala University where he graduated in 1784.[1]
In 1788, with the support of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Euphrasén made a natural history trip to the Antilles,[1] which included Saint Barthélemy and Saint Christopher island (today Saint Kitts).[3]
After his return, Euphrasén was appointed assistant professor ("deputy demonstrator") of botany in Stockholm.[1]
