Eponymy of New Mexico Grass Names
Kelly W. Allred Range Science Herbarium Department of Animal & Range Sciences New Mexico State University
[Published in Desert Plants, 1999]
Approximately 400 species of grasses occur in New Mexico (Roalson & Allred 1995). More than 75 of them bear a personal name, that of an explorer, a benefactor, a prominent scientist or naturalist, a friend, or the collector. In great measure, the history of botany in New Mexico and the American west is told by the stories of these people honored in the names of the state’s grasses. The early years of exploration of an expanding United States are revealed in the stories of Bigelow, Fendler, James, Parry, and Wright. The European origin of much of our botanical science, is reflected in the lives of Boutelou, Lindheimer, Reverchon, Roemer, and Schaffner. The scientist-patrons whose careers greatly benefited from the gathering of exotic western grasses, come to mind in Gray, Grisebach, Hackel, Hooker, and Torrey. And the names Scribner, Stebbins, Swallen, and Vasey are familiar to us from their prodigious contributions to the study of grass systematics. Oddly, only two residents of New Mexico are found on our list, O.B. Metcalfe and H. Wayne Springfield. Indeed, many of our honorees never set foot inside New Mexico, their association with the Land of Enchantment being limited to the grasses bearing their names. [As an aside, it is interesting to note that no scientific names of grasses celebrate the preeminent botanist of the state, E.O. Wooton (1865-1945), despite his colossal contributions to western American botany. He is remembered, however, by the vernacular “Wooton’s threeawn” for Aristida pansa Woot. & Standl., and by the scientific names of at least twenty non-grass plants (Allred 1990).]
The persons commemorated by New Mexico grass eponyms are listed below in alphabetical order by surname, followed by a brief biographical sketch that emphasizes their contribution to agrostology and botany. The eponyms are listed by basionym, with current nomenclature indicated in brackets following an equals sign.
[secular name: Arsene Gustave Joseph Brouard] (1867-1938). French clergyman-botanist and professor at Sacred Heart Training College at Las Vegas, New Mexico; extensive collections in the Las Vegas area, as well as Mexico, Central America, and France.
Botanist, entomologist, teacher, and administrator at the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station in Fort Collins; collected in Colorado, northern New Mexico (Aztec and Chama in 1899), California, Cuba, and the Philippines; many of his Colorado and New Mexico novelties were published by E.L. Greene in Plantae Bakerianae.
(E.Nels.) Löve]
French medical botanist and author of a work on the plants of France, Spain, and Italy.
German botanist and author of a botanical lexicon.
French botanist who was very active in the Old World but never collected in the New; the grass Hilaria belangeri was inadvertently named after Bélanger by Steudel, instead of after Jean Louis Berlandier who collected the plant in Mexico.
Anthephora belangeri Steudel [=Hilaria belangeri (Steud.) Nash]
Italian botanist and explorer who traveled to the West Indies and settled in Chile; lost at sea on a return voyage from Tahiti.
Botanist and U.S. Army surgeon; Surgeon and Botanist for the U.S.-Mexican Boundary Survey (1850-1853) and then joined Lieutenant A.W. Whipple’s Pacific Railroad Expedition (1853-1855); made numerous collections east of Albuquerque in autumn 1853, some from the Sandia Mountains; described the vegetation in his Report on the
[=Blepharidachne bigelovii (S. Wats.) Hackel]
Finnish collector-naturalist employed by Swedish East Indian Company; collected mainly in the Far East around Hongkong and Canton. Andropogon bladhii Retzius [=Bothriochloa bladhii (Retz.) S.T. Blake] Bloomer, Hirum G. (1821-1874). Pioneer botanist of California.
