Godr.
Dominique Alexandre Godron (; 25 March 1807 - 16 August 1880) was a French physician, botanist, geologist and speleology, speleologist born in the town of Hayange, in the ''département'' Moselle. Godron studied medicine at the University of Strasbourg, and during his career distinguished himself in natural sciences as well as in the field of medicine. In 1854 he became dean and professor of natural history to the Faculty of Sciences at Nancy, France, Nancy. Here he established a natural history museum and reorganized its botanical garden (now the ''Jardin Dominique Alexandre Godron'', renamed in his honor). Among his numerous writings were a publication on the flora of the Lorraine (region), Lorraine region of France called "''Flore de Lorraine''" (1843), and the three-volume "''Flore de France''", a work on flora native to France and Corsica that was co-written with botanist Jean Charles Marie Grenier (1808-1875).

Exsiccata
Exsiccata (Latin, ''gen.'' -ae, ''plur.'' -ae) is a work with "published, uniform, numbered set[s] of preserved specimens distributed with printed labels". Typically, exsiccatae are numbered collections of dried herbarium Biological specimen, specimens or preserved biological sample (material), samples published in several duplicate sets with a common theme or title, such as ''Lichenes Helvetici exsiccati'' (see figure). Exsiccatae are regarded as scientific contributions of the editor(s) with characteristics from the library world (published booklets of scientific literature, with authors/ editing, editors, titles, often published in Serial (publishing), serial publications like journals and magazines and in Serial_(literature), serial formats with fascicles) and features from the herbarium world (uniform and numbered collections of duplicate herbarium specimens). Exsiccatae works represent a special method of scholarly communication. The text in the printed matters/published book ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Godroniopsis
''Godroniopsis'' is a genus of fungi in the family Helotiaceae. The genus contains two species. The genus name of ''Godroniopsis'' is in honour of Dominique Alexandre Godron (1807–1880), who was a French physician, botanist, geologist and speleologist. The genus was circumscribed In geometry, a circumscribed circle for a set of points is a circle passing through each of them. Such a circle is said to ''circumscribe'' the points or a polygon formed from them; such a polygon is said to be ''inscribed'' in the circle. * Circum ... by William Webster Diehl and Edith Katherine Cash in Mycologia Vol.21 on page 243 in 1929.

Edith Katherine Cash
Edith Katherine Cash (October 14, 1890 – April 6, 1992) was an American mycologist. Early life Edith Cash was born in Binghamton, New York, to John Ferris Cash and Adella Knapp Cash. She graduated from George Washington University in 1912 with an AB degree in history and languages and was the recipient of the Thomas F. Walsh undergraduate prize for academic excellence. She was knowledgeable about European literature, and according to the catalog from George Washington University, her major was in French with a minor in French and English. She studied as an assistant only one-night weekly during six months (October 1921 to May 1922) to obtain her formal mycology training, at the USDA Graduate School. Together with Flora Wambaugh Patterson and William Webster Diehl she issued the exsiccata-like series ''Mycological exchange of 1921'' with specimens distributed by the USDA. She spent her entire research career in this institution. Cash started as a botanical translator in 1913 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
William Webster Diehl
William Webster Diehl (January 15, 1891 – 1978) was an American mycologist recognized for his work on grass pathogens, particularly in the genus ''Balansia''. Diehl was born in on January 15, 1891 in Logansport, Indiana to parents Edwin Randall Diehl and Mary Delilah Wyrick Diehl. The family moved to Ohio shortly after his birth and he attended grammar school in Dayton. He attended Miami University from 1910–1914 and received an MSc in botany from Iowa State College in 1915. He was briefly an instructor of botany and plant pathology with Clemson before joining the USDA where he worked from 1928 until his retirement in 1958. Together with Flora Wambaugh Patterson and Edith Katherine Cash he issued the exsiccata-like series ''Mycological exchange of 1921'' with specimens distributed by the USDA. He was honoured in 1954, when '' Diehliomyces'' is a genus of fungi in the Ascomycota phylum, was named after him. See also *List of mycologists This is a non-exhaustive list of ...

Helotiaceae
The Helotiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Helotiales. The distribution of species in the family are widespread, and typically found in tropical areas. There are 117 genera and 826 species in the family. A question mark after the genus name means that according to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, the placement of that genus in this family is uncertain.

Fungi
A fungus (: fungi , , , or ; or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and mold (fungus), molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one of the kingdom (biology)#Six kingdoms (1998), traditional eukaryotic kingdoms, along with Animalia, Plantae, and either Protista or Protozoa and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of motility, mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...
