William Gilson Farlow (December 17, 1844 – June 3, 1919) was an American botanist, born in Boston, Massachusetts, and educated at Harvard (A.B., 1866; M.D., 1870), where, after several years of European study, he became adjunct professor of botany in 1874 and professor of cryptogamic botany in 1879.[1]

Farlow corresponded with Caroline Bingham and Jacob Georg Agardh collaborating in the identification and classification of species of algae previously unknown to science.[2]

Farlow was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1874.[3] In 1899 he was president of the American Society of Naturalists; in 1904 president of the National Academy of Sciences; in 1905 president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the American Philosophical Society; and in 1911 president of the Botanical Society of America.[4]

He received honorary degrees from Harvard University, the University of Glasgow (LL.D in 1901),[5] and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

He was known as the "father" of cryptogamic botany in the United States.[6] Among his students was the phytologist William Albert Setchell.[7]

Among his publications are:

  • The Gymnosporangia or Cedar-Apples of the United States (1880)
  • Marine Algœ of New England (1881)
  • A Provisional Host-Index of the Fungi of the United States (1888)
  • Biographical Index of North American Fungi (1905)

With Charles Lewis Anderson and Daniel Cady Eaton he issued the exsiccata series Algae exsiccatae Americae Borealis (1877-1889).[8]

The standard author abbreviation Farl. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[9]
