Clair Alan Brown (August 16, 1903 – March 24, 1982) was an American botanist who specialized in Louisiana flora.[1] He was a Louisiana State University faculty member from 1926 until his retirement in 1970.[2]

Biography

Brown was born in Port Allegany, Pennsylvania, to Charles Melvin and Jennie Burroughs Brown, one of four sons.[3][4][5] He earned his bachelor's degree cum laude from New York State College of Forestry in 1925 and his Master's in botany from the University of Michigan in 1926.[6][2] He began working at Louisiana State University (LSU) the following year before returning to the University of Michigan for his doctorate, which he completed in 1934.[4][2][6] His dissertation was titled Morphology and biology of some species of Odontia.[7] He took up his position at LSU again and taught botany, systematic botany, wood identification, dendrology, forest pathology, ecology, and palynology until his retirement in 1970.[2][4]

He held a number of leadership roles in international organizations throughout his career, including as president of the Southern Weed Control Conference in 1948;[8] as a delegate to the International Botanical Congress in 1950;[6] and as president of the American Fern Society in 1960.[9] He was also appointed to the International Committee on Palynology[6] and was president of honor at the 78th Société botanique de France.[citation needed] Among his awards were a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1952,[6] a National Science Foundation fellowship in 1961,[10] and an Edmund Niles Huyck Fellowship.[6] In 1973, he received a Louisiana Literary Award for his illustrated anthology Wildflowers of Louisiana and Adjoining States.[4]

Brown married Maude Nichols on September 4, 1926[citation needed] and they had two daughters, Sarah and Dorcas.[11][12] Maude and nineteen-year-old Sarah died in a car accident in April 1962.[13][12]

Brown died on March 24, 1982, in Baton Rouge.[5]
