William Gilson Farlow (1844–1919) was an American botanist, born in Boston, Massachusetts, and educated at Harvard (A.B., 1866; M.D., 1870), where, after several years of European study, he became adjunct professor of botany in 1874 and professor of cryptogamic botany in 1879. Farlow corresponded with Caroline Bingham and Jacob Georg Agardh collaborating in the identification and classification of species of algae previously unknown to science. In 1899 he was president of the American Society of Naturalists; in 1904 president of the National Academy of Sciences; in 1905 president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; and in 1911 president of the Botanical Society of America. He received honorary degrees from Harvard University, the University of Glasgow (LL.D in 1901), and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Among his publications are: * ''The Gymnosporangia or Cedar-Apples of the United States'' (1880) * ''Marine Algœ of New England'' (1881) * ''A Provisional Host-Index of the Fungi of the United States'' (1888) * ''Biographical Index of North American Fungi'' (1905) * ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Gilson Farlow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
