Carl Fredrik Nyman (31 August 1820 - 26 April 1893) was a Swedish botanist born in Stockholm.

Nyman was a curator at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm (1855–1889).[1] With Heinrich Wilhelm Schott (1794-1865) and Theodor Kotschy (1813-1866), he was editor of Analecta Botanica (1854). Among his publications are the following:

  • Conspectus Florae Europaeae, (volume 1- September 1878, volume 2- October 1879, volume 3- July 1881, volume 4- October 1882, addendum- December 1885).
  • Sylloge Florae Europaeae, (1854–1855).

The plant genus Nymania (synonym Phyllanthus) was named in his honor by Karl Moritz Schumann. In 1891 Otto Kuntze named the genus Nymanina after him.[1][2]

The standard author abbreviation Nyman is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[3]
