Preferred Citation [Identification of item], Charles Russell Orcutt papers, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Acquisition Information The collection was was purchased from W. T. Genns in August 1959. Biographica Note Charles R. Orcutt, botanist and editor. In 1879, he came from Vermont to San Diego where his father established the Orcutt Seed and Plant Company near the ruins of the San Diego mission. From an early age he collected and studied plants, making many contributions to the Smithsonian Institution during his lifetime. Orcutt edited the American botanist (1898-1900), American plants (1907-1910), and The West American scientist (1884-1919). He died in Haiti in 1929. Scope and Content The 642 items in this collection consist primarily of letters written to Orcutt from fellow botanists and other representatives of historical societies, nurseries, museums, and related institutions. These items are arranged in alphabetical order by author last name. Orcutt corresponded frequently with botanists, collectors, and other scholars in the field of natural history in the buying, selling, and exchange of specimens such as seedlings, plants, and trees. He also collected seashells. Some of these discoveries were showcased in "The West American Scientist," a monthly magazine containing news, articles, editorials, illustrations and advertisements broadly related to the study of natural history on the Pacific coast and Mexico. As a result, the collection also includes numerous receipts and invoices, inquiries of pricing and shipping fees, and requests for copies of the publication. Orcutt also corresponded regularly with members of the American Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. There are several noteworthy items. A handwritten translation of a description of the Washington robusta genus details the origins, characteristics, and growth patterns of the California palm tree. Letters from George Frederick Kunz of Tiffany and Company include requests to send pearls and shells as well as books and articles on mineralogy. He also seeks Orcutt's knowledge and personal observations of pearls and other precious and ornamental stones found along the California coast. Two letters from Alice A. Gray, the niece of the botanist Asa Gray, are of a personal nature. She responds to Orcutt's inquiries regarding a potential shared ancestry and attempts to trace their genealogy. In a letter written to Orcutt in 1887, John Dickinson, Professor of Mathematics and Mineralogy at the University of Southern California, requests a donation of all Charles Russell Orcutt papers mssOrcutt papers 2 back copies of "The West American Scientist" magazine to help build a library and promote interest in the study of the natural sciences. Correspondents include: Asa Gray, Edward Lee Greene, George Frederick Kuntz, Charles Christopher Parry, George Vasey, and Serno Watson and others. Arrangement The collection is arranged alphabetically. It is housed in one box.

  • Flora Vanishing Flora of Washington and Vicinity
    Vanishing Flora of Washington and Vicinity: Three Centuries of Botanical Exploration in Alexandria, Virginia Capital Science 2012 Conference Rod Simmons, City of Alexandria Dept. Recreation, Parks, and Cultural Activities, Natural Resources Division The City of Alexandria is one of the oldest cities in the eastern U.S., and was famous as Virginia’s primary northern shipping port from the early 1700s to the mid-1800s when the railroad became important. Benjamin Banneker: A prominent early American scientist who performed the mathematical calculations for the original boundaries of Washington, D.C. He also worked from the survey team base camp at Jones Point in Alexandria on astronomical calculations (Alexandria Archaeology). Image courtesy Alexandria Archaeology Bacopa rotundifolia Photo courtesy USGS In the early days of American botany and expeditions into the wilds of the eastern U.S., Rafinesque was apparently the first to explore areas near Alexandria. He writes, “I came to North America in 1802, and traveled chiefly on foot until 1804, over New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, from the Juniata to the Sea Shore, and from the Alleghany Mountains beyond Easton, to the Potomac beyond Washington Constantine Samuel Rafinesque (1783-1840) and Alexandria” (Rafinesque 1836). Polygala curtissii Photo © Daniel Reed – www.2bnthewild.com A.H. Curtiss Asa Gray The first known botanical collections from Alexandria were of Polygala curtissii (Curtiss’ Milkwort) in 1865 and Elatine minima (Small Waterwort) [unknown date] by A.H. Curtiss. The Milkwort was sent to Asa Gray at Harvard for identification, and was named for Curtiss by Gray. It remains a possible type specimen.

UTILIZING ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY’S ENVIRONMENTAL LEGACY AND HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS TO SUSTAIN A GLOBAL FUTURE Melissa A. Nergard 97 Pages May 2015 The scholarly capital of materials at Illinois State University includes numerous natural history collections from the mid-nineteenth century that hold significant research and historical value. Changes in pedagogical methods and academic leadership, however, created confusion and territorial competition in who would preserve and manage the collections. Consequently some specimens from those early collections have been both lost and forgotten. This thesis used a systems approach to track the material losses incurred when institutional support shifted in the 1870s, and the original collectors and curators left Central Illinois for national interests in Washington, D.C. Yet, historical environmental collections have become increasingly valuable sources of data for researchers as the specimens and collector notes enable scientists to determine anthropogenic influences on environmental systems on a global scale.
