IN REMEMBRANCE. 
RESOLVED that in the death of Doctor Edward Lee Greene 
the California Academy of Sciences has lost one of its most 
eminent members and the world one of its leaders in systematic 
botany. With sublime devotion to science he gave up all he 
had, time, energy and what money could be spared from his 
frugal needs to carrying on his work, publishing at his own expense 
a mass of original material to be compared in extent only with 
that of Asa Gray. Probably no other American botanist has 
published so many new species and genera and certainly no other 
has made such great sacrifices to carry on his work. 
His wide travels and his rare powers of observation and 
discrimination gave him a personal knowledge of more living 
plants than is possessed to-day by any other botanist. 
He collected at his own expense one of the best botanical 
libraries in this country and an herbarium rich in types of new 
species. It is greatly to be regretted that this library and her- 
barium are not in some Pacific Coast institution where their use 
would be greatest since his epoch making work was done on the 
Pacific Coast flora. 
He possessed that rare type of courage, namely the courage 
of his convictions, and alone carried the banner of what to him 
was the truth in the face of the greatest opposition. No wonder 
that such a man who was also blessed with an attractive personality 
and whose knowledge was so great and so freely bestowed, drew 
‘Gaudin, J. F., Fl. Helv. V, 335 (1829).
