Julia Wilmotte Henshaw
Julia Wilmotte Henshaw (8 August 1869 – 19 November 1937) was a Canadian botanist, geographer, writer, and political activist who also served with the Red Cross in World War I.
== Early life ==
Henshaw was born Julia Wilmotte Henderson (some sources spell it Willmothe) 1869 in Durham, England. She was one of eight children. She studied in France and Germany before she moved to Canada about 1890.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= John Davidson: The Legacy of a Canadian Botanist )〕 She is sometimes erroneously credited with the discovery of the moccasin flower (also pink lady's slipper) (''Cypripedium acaule''),〔〔 which had been known to science since 1789 and known from the Canadian Rocky Mountains since at least 1897, due to a misunderstanding of her statement "The Pink Lady's Slipper is so extremely rare in the Rocky Mountains that I regard my discovery of it in the year 1903 as the crowning triumph of my botanical work in that region." She married Charles Grant Henshaw (July 6, 1860, St. Hyacinthe, Quebec – circa 1927) in Montreal on June 15, 1887. Their only child, Doris, was born on September 20, 1889, and died circa 1974. They moved to British Columbia in 1890.〔 She died from heart trouble.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canadian Great War Project )〕 Doris married Grant Morden.〔
