Benjamin Franklin Bush (botanist)
Benjamin Franklin "Frank" Bush (December 21, 1858 – February 14, 1937) was an American botanist and ornithologist. He was an expert on the flora of Jackson County, Missouri, and his lifelong research into the plant life of that area made it into one of the best known botanical regions in the United States.
==Early life==
Bush was born in Columbus, Indiana in 1858. He moved with his mother Henrietta Bush to Jackson County, Missouri in 1865, and that area remained his home for the rest of life. While there, Henrietta Bush met and married Robert B. Tindall, a florist who built and operated the first greenhouse in Independence, Missouri.〔("Benjamin Franklin Bush" ) (2011).

Bush developed a love of the natural world as a young man by exploring the frontier country of post-Civil War western Missouri. Within a few miles of his home were prairies, dense woods, rocky glades, and small waterways connected to the Missouri River.〔Palmer, Ernest J. (May 1937). ("Benjamin Franklin Bush." ) ''American Midland Naturalist'' 18(3): i-vi. Retrieved through JSTOR (subscription required) 2012-10-29.〕 Young Bush was particularly taken with the calls and songs of the bird species in the area, and he amassed an important collection of bird eggs from the region. He also tracked the behaviors of passenger pigeons, prairie chickens, and Carolina parakeets. But his lifelong interest in birds was always superseded by his interest in plants.〔
