Pringle 1838 - 1911 was an American botanist who spent a career of 35 years cataloguing the plants of North America. He was a prolific collector and accomplished botanical explorer. In 1880 he received three commissions: collecting wood samples for the Jesup Collection under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History; exploring American forests and collecting data for a final report for the United States Census Bureau working for Charles Sprague Sargent; and general botanical collecting on behalf of Asa Gray. In 1884 he made a botanical survey of the northern portions of Arizona under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution. Pringle was appointed to the Gray Herbarium as a botanical collector in 1885 eventually making 39 expeditions to Mexico over the next 24 years. In April 1896 he was elected a member of the newly established New England Botanical Club and attended the meetings when in Boston. He was a charter member and later vice-president of the Vermont Botanical Club. During his 35 years of field work in the United States Canada and Mexico Pringle collected over 500000 specimens which included some 1200 species new to science. Duplicates of his own collections were distributed widely and can be found throughout many herbaria in the United States and abroad. Cloth. Very Good. Free Press Printing Co,. Hardcover
