Today, he is best remembered as one of the chief architects of pollen analysis as a tool in botany, alongside his student Ernst Post.[2][3]

In 1895, botanists Giovanni Battista De Toni and Robert Hippolyte Chodat published Lagerheimia, which is a genus of green algae in the family Oocystaceae, named in his honour.[4] Then in 1940, Boedijn published Lagerheimiella, another green algae genus.[5]

The standard author abbreviation Lagerh. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[6]
