Clara Christine Maria Wehl

Clara Christine Maria Wehl (née Mueller; 1833 – 31 July 1901) was a German-born Australian botanist. She is known for her contributions to Australian botany through her scientific collections in Australia. The genus Wehlia and the species Gigartina wehliae are named in her honour.

Early life Wehl was born in Rostock Mecklenburg, now in Germany, in 1833. She was the daughter of Louise Mertens (1797–1840) and her husband Friedrich Müller (1794–1835), a customs official. Clara emigrated to South Australia in 1847 accompanied by her sister Bertha and brother Ferdinand von Mueller. In around August 1873 Wehl moved with her family to Millicent. Wehl's algae collecting and the specimens it generated, assisted the research of other botanists including William Henry Harvey, Otto Sonder and Jacob Agardh. Wehl's algae specimens were used by Harvey in his publication Phycologia Australica. Her collections are held at several institutions including at the National Herbarium of Victoria, the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle and the Auckland War Memorial Museum. The algae species Gigartina wehliae is also named in her honour.

Death Wehl died at Millicent on 31 July 1901 aged 68.
