Alice Faber Tryon
Alice Faber Tryon (1920–2009) was an American botanist who specialized in the systematics of ferns and other spore-dispersed plants (pteridology). She had two general areas of interest in her work, first incorporating the use of spore surface patterns into the understanding of fern diversity and systematics, and second the fern family Pteridaceae. Biography Alice Faber Tryon was born Alice Elizabeth Faber in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on August 2, 1920, to Arthur and Laura Bindrich Faber. Alice Tryon completed her Bachelor's degree in 1941 at Milwaukee State Teacher’s College (now the University of Wisconsin). She completed her master’s thesis on the taxonomic utility of spore characters in the spikemoss genus ''Selaginella'' at the University of Wisconsin in 1945. Her Doctoral degree she received at Washington University in 1952, where her PhD dissertation was on the diversity and taxonomy of the New World species of '' Pellaea'', a genus of xerically adapted ferns in the Pt ...

Milwaukee
Milwaukee ( ), officially the City of Milwaukee, is both the most populous and most densely populated city in the U.S. state of Wisconsin and the county seat of Milwaukee County. With a population of 577,222 at the 2020 census, Milwaukee is the 31st largest city in the United States, the fifth-largest city in the Midwestern United States, and the second largest city on Lake Michigan's shore behind Chicago. It is the main cultural and economic center of the Milwaukee metropolitan area, the fourth-most densely populated metropolitan area in the Midwest. Milwaukee is considered a global city, categorized as "Gamma minus" by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, with a regional GDP of over $102 billion in 2020. Today, Milwaukee is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse cities in the U.S. However, it continues to be one of the most racially segregated, largely as a result of early-20th-century redlining. Its history was heavily influ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tryonia (plant)
''Tryonia'' is a genus of ferns in the subfamily Pteridoideae of the family Pteridaceae. Species are native to the east of Brazil and to Uruguay. The genus was circumscribed by Eric Schuettpelz, Jefferson Prado and Alyssa T. Cochran in PhytoKeys vol.35 on page 35 in 2014. The genus name of ''Tryonia'' is in honour of Alice F. Tryon (1920–2009), who was an American botanist (mainly pteridology). She examined the taxonomy of the fern genera ''Jamesonia ''Jamesonia'' is a genus of ferns in the subfamily Pteridoideae of the family Pteridaceae.

University Of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Alumni
A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. In the United States, the designation is reserved for colleges that have a graduate school. The word ''university'' is derived from the Latin ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". The first universities were created in Europe by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (''Università di Bologna''), founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *Being a high degree-awarding institute. *Having independence from the ecclesiastic schools, although conducted by both clergy and non-clergy. *Using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *Issuing secular and non-secular degrees: grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The university ...

Eriosorus
''Jamesonia'' is a genus of ferns in the subfamily Pteridoideae of the family Pteridaceae. It now includes the formerly separate genus ''Eriosorus''. Description Species of ''Jamesonia'' are terrestrial or grow on rocks. They vary considerably in their detailed morphology. The rhizomes are short, dark brown, and creeping, with a more or less dense covering of hairs and bristles. The fertile and infertile fronds are similar. Species show one of two different frond morphologies, related to habitat. These were formerly used to distinguish ''Jamesonia'' and ''Eriosorus'', but do not correspond to the evolutionary history of the species. Species with "''Jamesonia''-type" morphology have many fronds with short, often leathery pinnae, and are associated with exposed habitats. Species with "''Eriosorus''-type" morphology have fewer fronds with longer, thinner pinnae, and are associated with more sheltered areas including cloud forests. The stalks ( petioles and rachises) of the frond ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Taenitidaceae
Pteridaceae is a family of ferns in the order Polypodiales, including some 1150 known species in ca 45 genera (depending on taxonomic opinions), divided over five subfamilies. The family includes four groups of genera that are sometimes recognized as separate families: the adiantoid, cheilanthoid, pteridoid, and hemionitidoid ferns. Relationships among these groups remain unclear, and although some recent genetic analyses of the Pteridales suggest that neither the family Pteridaceae nor the major groups within it are all monophyletic, as yet these analyses are insufficiently comprehensive and robust to provide good support for a revision of the order at the family level. Description Members of Pteridaceae have creeping or erect rhizomes. The leaves are almost always compound and have linear sori that are typically on the margins of the leaves and lack a true indusium, typically being protected by a false indusium formed from the reflexed margin of the leaf.
