Wolfgang Wolf (1872–1950) fue un monje benedictino y botánico autodidacto de origen alemán que vivió y trabajó en la Abadía de San Bernardo en Cullman, Alabama, EE.UU. Wolf estudió y documentó las plantas de la región centro-norte del estado, acumuló un herbario personal de miles de hojas y llego a ser especialmente experto en los géneros Talinum y Erythronium. Se presenta una breve biografía de Wolf, destacando su poca conocida correspondencia con muchos botánicos prominentes durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. Sigue la tipificación de los nueve nombres que publicó, incluyendo la designación de cuatro tipos nomenclaturales.
