  • Chapter 4 Phytomorph and Geomorph Identification ©
    1 Chapter 4 Phytomorph and Geomorph Identification © This Chapter is based on three published works: (1) a paper by Hugh O Neall (1944) that identifies two New World plants (sunflower and chili peppers) in the Voynich manuscript; (2) a paper of Tucker and Talbert (2013) which identified 39 plants in the Voynich as indigenous to the New World; (3) a paper by Tucker and Janick (2016) which extended the list to 59 species. Although many of the illustrations of the Voynich Codex on first blush could be considered bizarre or whimsical (See Figure in Chapter 14) most contain morphological structures which permit botanical identification. Many enthusiasts have attempted to analyze the plants of the Voynich Codex, but few are knowledgeable plant taxonomists or botanists, despite their large web presence. Most of the plant identification has been predicated on the conclusion that the Voynich is a 15th century European manuscript (Friedman 1962). The principal reports in a web report by non botanists Edith and Erica Sherwood (http:www.edithsherwood.comn/coyhnich_botanical_plants) who identifies he plants as Mediterranean based on their premise that Voynich is a 15th century Italian manuscript and claims to find signature of Leonardo da Vinci in voynich drawings. We respectfully disagree with both assertions. The first exception to the conclusion that the Voynich plants were European is a short remarkable 1944 paper in Speculum (a refereed journal of the Medieval Academy of America) by the distinguished plant taxonomist, the Rev./Dr. Hugh O’Neill (1894–1969), former Director of the Herbarium (official acronym LCU) at the Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington, D.C.

  • Ynes Mexia (1870-1938) Biographical Sketch by Jane Radcliffe, Archives Volunteer
    Ynes Mexia (1870-1938) Biographical Sketch by Jane Radcliffe, Archives Volunteer Ynes Mexia was born May 24, 1870 to Enrique Mexia and Sarah Wilmer Mexia. Accounts vary on the place of her birth: some say Washington, D.C. and some say Limestone County, Texas. Historians agree that her father was a representative at the Mexican consulate in Washington, and that in 1871 the family moved to Limestone County on a land-grant that is today Mexia, Texas. Very little is known of her early life. There is a short note in Lisa Yount's book A to Z of Women in Science and Math, (New York, N.Y. Facts on File, 1999), telling us that "After two short unhappy marriages" she moved to San Francisco. The first husband is identified here as Herman de Laue, a German-Spanish merchant who died in 1904. In another source, Ynes is referred to, during this same period, as "Ynes Mexia de K." Her second marriage was to D. Augustin Reygados. His photo, dated 1919-1922, appears in an album in the Academy archives. Most photos in that album are taken of sites in California. The University of Texas online history source www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/MM/fme54.html says she moved to Mexico when she married him and to San Francisco after they separated. In 1921 she was enrolled in botany classes at the University of California in Berkeley. A 1980 letter of John Thomas Howell, CAS Curator Emeritus of Botany, reminisces about the autumn of 1923 "when I was enrolled in freshman botany at UCB and Mrs.

  • Women in Botany Reduced Updated Rev 1.Xlsx
    Worked Importance to after supported Native Plants Location marriage by fieldwork Jane Colden (1724–1760) was among the first women anywhere to master formal Linnaean botany, and she did so not in a European center of learning but on a farm in the Hudson Valley of New York. Colden became a skilled, talented botanist, despite the unusualness of this activity for a woman in this period. She was able to develop Idenitification, these skills because she could take advantage of several intersecting circumstances. She first engaged with botany Jane Colden classification, at the behest of her father, who had himself practiced botany and had found it a route to prestige and sociability. 1724‐1766 Botanist New York No Father ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Colden At the age of 16, Almira Hart began her teaching career in district schools. She later continued her own education. In 1814, she opened her first boarding school for young women at her home in Berlin; and two years later, she became principal of a school in Sandy Hill, New York.[1] While teaching at the Female Seminary, her interests in science increased, and her botanical career began under the influence of Amos Eaton. While under the direction of Eaton, she found her passion in botany and the lack of introductory text books for secondary and beginning college level students. This led Phelps to write and publish her first and most famous textbook in 1829, Familiar Lectures on Botany.[1] Almira 1793‐1884 In 1859, Phelps was the third woman elected as a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Phelps 1793‐ Teaching, botany 2nd Science.
