Arthur Henry Reginald Buller, FRSC, FRS (19 August 1874 – 3 July 1944) was a British-Canadian mycologist. He is mainly known as a researcher of fungi, especially wheat rust.[2]

Academic career

Mason College, now part of the University of Birmingham

Born in Moseley, Birmingham, England, he was educated at Queen's College, Taunton. He then studied at Mason College, which later became part of the University of Birmingham, (B.Sc. in 1896),[3] the University of Leipzig (Ph.D.), and the University of Munich. He was awarded a D.Sc. by the University of Birmingham. He worked briefly for the Naples Zoological Station. From 1901 to 1904, he was a lecturer in Botany at the University of Birmingham. He came to Canada in 1904, founded the Botany Department and was the first Professor of Botany and Geology at the University of Manitoba, and served as Head of the Botany Department until his retirement in 1936.[2]

His book Essays on Wheat (Macmillan, 1919) deals with the early history of wheat-growing in Manitoba, wheat-growing in western Canada, the discovery and introduction of Marquis wheat, the origin of the wheat varieties Red Bobs and Kitchener, and Palestine's wild wheat.[4][5][6] He wrote a 7-volume series Researches on Fungi published in 6 volumes from 1909 to 1934 with the 7th volume published posthumously in 1950.[7][8][9]

Poetry

He also wrote limericks, some of which were published in Punch, including this one on Einstein's special theory of relativity:[10]

There was a young lady named Bright,
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She started one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night.

A. H. Reginald Buller in Punch (19 December 1923): 591.

Honours

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (FRSC) in 1909, and became its President in 1927.[1] He was the President of the British Mycological Society in 1914.[11] In 1929, he was awarded the Royal Society of Canada's Flavelle Medal. In 1937, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS).[1] He was a life member of the Mycological Society of America.

He was awarded honorary degrees from the University of Saskatchewan, University of Calcutta, University of Manitoba, and University of Pennsylvania. The Buller Building at the University of Manitoba, built in 1932, is named in his honour.

The standard author abbreviation Buller is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[12]
