Grasses
Smithsonian botanist Mary Agnes Chase (1869–1963) was one of the world's leading experts on grasses. With her colleague Albert Spear Hitchcock (1865–1935), she collected early printed sources on the subject from around the world, including this book by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber, a disciple of Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus -- known as "the Father of Taxonomy." |
