Alicia Lourteig was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her parents originated from France and Argentina. She studied pharmacy and biochemistry at university in Buenos Aires, and her doctorate was awarded in 1946.[2]
Careeredit
Despite the subjects she studied at university, Lourteig's career was as a botanist, particularly as a taxonomist of the Lythraceae, Ranunculaceae, Mayacaceae and Oxalidaceae. Her interests extended to the history of botany in South America and the Antilles.[2]
She was employed as a botanist from 1938 until 1947 at the Miguel Lillo Institute within the University of Tucuman. She then moved to the Darwinion Botanic Institute in San Isidro.[2] She was able to visit other herbaria in America and Europe. These included the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, UK (1948 to 1950) and herbaria in Stockholm (1950-1951), Copenhagen (1951), Boston (1952-1953) and Washington (1953).[3]
