Helianthus Porteri
''Helianthus porteri'' is a species of sunflower known by the common names Porter's sunflower, Stone Mountain daisy and Confederate daisy. The term "daisy" is a imprecise because the species is a sunflower (''Helianthus'') rather than a daisy (''Bellis'' and related genera). Likewise, although the plant grows on Stone Mountain, GA, its range extends well beyond. The connection to the Confederacy is through Stone Mountain which contains a confederate monument, although the connection is tenuous as the species was named before the Civil War in 1849 by Harvard botanist Asa Gray in honor of Thomas Conrad Porter, a Pennsylvanian minister and botanist who collected the plant in Georgia. Gray initially named the plant ''Rudbeckia porteri'', changed to ''Helianthus'' in 1998 by John F. Pruski. The common name Porter's sunflower therefore most closely accords with the history of botanical discovery and naming. The species is native to the southeastern United States, such as Alabama and G ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Carl Heinrich 'Bipontinus' Schultz
Carl Heinrich Schultz (30 June 1805 – 17 December 1867) was a German physician and botanist, and a brother to botanist Friedrich Wilhelm Schultz (1804–1876).
