First published in 1959 and updated in 1967, Taxonomy of Flowering
Plants was created to provide a factual and simplified account of
basic principles needed by beginning students in a course in
taxonomy together with illustrated descriptions of more than a
hundred families of flowering plants representative of the North
American flora. The text assumes that the students have had some
introduction to plant science. It is intended for undergraduate
students in the study of agronomy, range management, forestry,
wildlife management and conservation. The text is divided into
three parts: Part I, dealing with historical and theoretical
aspects and with terminology and morphology; Part II, dealing with
orders and families of monocotyledons; and Part III, dealing with
orders and families of dicotyledons. Dr. Cedric Lambert "Ted"
Porter (1905 - 2000) completed his B.S. and M.S. at the University
of Michigan. He became Professor of Botany (1929-1943) at the
University of Wyoming. In 1937 he became assistant curator of the
Rocky Mountain Herbarium and in 1943 he became, and was, Curator
until his retirement in 1968. Porter published more than 40
scientific papers, "Spring Flora of Southeastern Wyoming," and
eight fascicles of "A Flora of Wyoming" (ferns and fern allies,
gymnosperms, angiosperms: monocots, dicots through Fumariaceae;
Englerian system). In 1951 a distinctive sagebrush, endemic to the
Wind River Basin, Wyoming, discovered by Porter was named in his
honor by Arthur Cronquist: Artemisia porteri.
