Professor Gray and the Shortia Plant Discovery
Harvard botanist Professor Gray received a ceremonial vase for his seventy fifth birthday with notes honoring his work on the Shortia plant. A fragmentary specimen from America inspired his naming of Shortia galiofolia, but later a live Japanese relative corrected the record, revealing Gray’s misidentification. A southern herb house later supplied the actual Shortia specimen, confirming Gray’s botanical connection and resolving the plant’s status in systematic botany.
