Dharani Dhar Awasthi

Dharani Dhar Awasthi (28 September 1922, Naret village, Pithoragarh District, Uttarakhand – 21 August 2011, Lucknow)[1] was an Indian botanist, taxonomist, and lichenologist, often given the appellation "Father of Indian Lichenology".[2]

Education and career

Awasthi graduated in botany from the University of Lucknow with B.Sc. in 1943 and M.Sc. in 1945. From 1945 to 1946 he was a research assistant in the University of Lucknow's department of botany. From 1946 to 1948 he worked at Kolkata's Botanical Garden and Herbarium in a stipendiary training programme in systematic botany and taxonomy.[1] In 1947 he received a Ph.D. from the University of Lucknow.[3] His doctoral advisor was Sachindra Nath Das Gupta (1902–1990). From 1948 to 1952 Awasthi worked as a botanical assistant at Lucknow's National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI).[1] From 1952 until the end of his career he was (except for sabbaticals) a faculty member in the University of Lucknow's botany department.[2] With support from the Fulbright Program he studied from 1960 to 1963 in the US for advanced training in lichenology under William Alfred Weber at the University of Colorado Boulder. There in 1963 Awasthi received his second Ph.D.[1] In 1963 he returned to the University of Lucknow. During his career there he was the doctoral advisor for eight Ph.D. students,[2] including Dalip Kumar Upreti. At the University of Lucknow, when Awasthi was superannuated in the 1990s, Lucknow's pioneering school of lichenology was closed, but his students flourished in various universities and institutions.[1]

He alone or jointly revised more than 70 genera of lichens and described more than 75 species.[1]

When he first began his research, very little was known about the lichen flora of India and most type specimens were held in European herbaria. Awasthi has made particular progress in making information available for students in his home country and building up a comprehensive herbarium.[4]

The lichen genera Awasthiella and Awasthia,[5] as well as several lichen species, are named in his honour.[1]
