Gray, Asa

Born Nov. 18, 1810, in Paris; died Jan. 30, 1888, in Cambridge, Mass. American botanist.

Gray became a professor at Harvard University in 1842 and created one of the world’s richest herbaria there. He was one of the most important investigators of the flora of North America and author of a number of textbooks and guides in the field of botany. Together with C. Lyell, he persuaded C. Darwin (1858) to hasten publication of his theory of the origin of species. He participated actively in the dissemination and defense of Darwin’s ideas.
