Mary Katharine Brandegee : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mary Katharine Brandegee Mary Katharine "Kate" Brandegee (October 28, 1844 – April 3, 1920) was an American botanist known for her comprehensive studies of flora in California. ==Life== Brandegee was born Mary Katharine Layne on October 28, 1844, the second child of ten to Mary Morris Layne, a housewife, and Marshall Layne, a farmer. The Laynes lived in western Tennessee and had nine other children. Her family, already peripatetic, moved to California during the Gold Rush of 1849, though Marshall chose to farm; they settled in Folsom, California when Kate was 9. In 1866, 22 years old, she married Hugh Curran, a constable; in 1874, he died of alcoholism. She did not marry again until 1889, when she wed Townshend Brandegee; they shared a love of science as she was a botanist and he was a civil engineer and plant collector. The couple walked from San Diego to San Francisco collecting plants for their honeymoon. Brandegee died on April 3, 1920, in Berkeley, 76 years old.
