William Willard Ashe
William Willard Ashe (June 4, 1872 – March 18, 1932) was an American forester and botanist. He was known as a prolific collector of plant specimens and an early proponent of conservationism in the Southern United States. Early life Ashe was born in Raleigh, North Carolina to Samuel A'Court Ashe (1840 – 1938) and Hannah Emerson Willard. He was the oldest of nine children and grew up on the family's antebellum estate "Elmwood," where he spent much of his childhood exploring the nearby woods and fields looking for natural curiosities. He quickly took to collecting plant specimens, and by the time he entered college, Ashe required a two-story building to house his entire collection. As a young man, Ashe also spent time writing; and along with his brother Samuel, he produced a tract titled "The West End Sun" that included woodcuts made by W.W. Ashe himself. A copy of "The West End Sun" was placed in the cornerstone of the State Agricultural College Building in Raleigh. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Crataegus Coccinea
''Crataegus coccinea'', the scarlet hawthorn, is a species of hawthorn around which there is considerable confusion because the name has been misapplied for a long time. It has been shown to be the same as ''C. pedicellata'', and under the rules of botanical nomenclature, the older name (''C. coccinea'') should be used. Taxonomic history In 1901, Charles Sprague Sargent chose a lectotype for ''Crataegus coccinea'' from among Linnaeus's specimens, but chose a specimen that resembles ''C. dodgei'' Ashe. Sargent's lectotype opinion was followed by other authors until he realized his error and corrected it in 1909. The name ''C. coccinea'' has also been misapplied to specimens of '' C. intricata'' Lange. For almost 100 years, particularly since 1910, this species was generally called ''Crataegus pedicellata'' Sarg. except by a few authors. Linnaeus's original description was inadequate to make a decision between various unrelated species, including ''C. nigra'', ''C. phaenopyrum'', ...
