Pursh, Frederick (1774–1820)

German-born US botanist and explorer. He undertook two botanical explorations of the territory from North Carolina to Vermont in 1806 and 1807. He wrote Flora Americae Septentrionalis 1814 which included many new species discovered by the explorers Lewis and Clark and was the most complete account to that time of the flora of the USA.

Born in Grossenhain, Saxony, he went to the USA in 1799 and managed a botanical garden near Philadelphia 1802–05.
