XII SKETCH OF CHARLES THEODORE MOHR. 



k *Mohr lias die distinction of having gone from the beaten 

 track of systematic botanists and considered the plants he 

 studied from an economic aspect. He has not only increased 

 the sum of our knowledge, but has added to our powers of di- 

 rect usefulness. I would say to those who in referring to bot- 

 any are ever asking the question ciii bono, carefully read the 

 writings of Dr. Mohr; they afford a most able answer." 



Personally Dr. Mohr was the most lovable and unselfish of 

 men, totally devoid of affectation and pretense. He made friends 

 with old and young wherever he went, inspiring all who knew 

 him with love and respect both on account of his noble 

 character and of the fullness and accuracy of his knowledge. 

 His unselfish devotion to his favorite science came to be es- 

 teemed at something like its real worth during his lifetime, 

 and the name of Charles Mohr will long be cherished in the 

 country at large and in his adopted State in particular, by all 

 who can appreciate true merit and greatness of character.
