| William Russel Dudley (01 Mar) 1849 - 1911 (04 Jun) |
| William Russel Dudley was an American botanist and one of Cornell University's earliest students as well as a highly influential professor at Cornell whose students included botanists such as W.W. Rowlee, E.J. Durand, and G.F. Atkinson. S.H. Burnham was another notable student of Dudley's, whom he taught at Stanford University after leaving Cornell in 1893. Between teaching and field work, Dudley had very little time for writing and publishing. However, his thorough knowledge of eastern flora led him to publish Cayuga Flora in 1886. It was the first catalogue of the region's wild plants. While in California, he persuaded the state's Forest Service to purchase 2,500 acres of land for the purpose of preserving a redwood forest in Santa Cruz County, now called Big Basin Redwoods State Park. |
