DESCRIPTION Many people have had impacts on our knowledge and appreciation of the flora of Southern California, some well-known, some less so. The activities, experiences, training, (and original occupations) of some of these people were often quite different from the talents we know them for, as plant collectors and explorers. None could have known what aspects of their lives or works could or would stand out to us now. Dr. Wallace will touch on why they collected plants, what they collected, what happened to their collections and in some cases the impact of those collections. It is likely that other tidbits of information will be mentioned as they come to mind Dr. GARY D. WALLACE – is a botanist currently serving as a Research Associate with California Botanic Garden. He worked for over 18 years at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He worked on federal listings of plants and taxonomic issues for plants and animals including Coachella Valley milk-vetch, Peirson's milk-vetch, ash-gray paintbrush, southern mountains wild buckwheat, willowy monardella, San Clemente Island lotus, and San Clemente Island paintbrush. He has a special interest in the Ericaceae, especially the mycoparasitic Monotropoideae (Snow plant relatives.) He contributed to both editions of the Jepson Manual and the Flora of North America (FNA) project. Currently he is a regional reviewer for the FNA. Twice a President of the Southern California Botanists, he recently completed an article on their history that appeared in Crossosoma, and an article on the Irish botanist Thomas Coulter (of Coulter pine fame) printed in Aliso, the journal of the California Botanic Garden.
