Notes
a. Note:   LeRoy Ellsworth Detling's birth certificate lists his father as "Joseph Hilariu Detling" and mother "Mary Ann Bloedel" (South Dakota Certified Vital Records File Number 783146, file date 9/1/1960).
  LeRoy was an Associate Professor of Botany at University of Oregon. He identified several subspecies of the Tansy-Mustard and Toothwort plants. Phillip A. Munz, A California Flora, pp. 232-234 and 242-244.
  The death notice published in the September 21, 1967 [verify date] issue of the Eugene Register-Guard states his birth was in Groton, Brown Co., South Dakota. He was a resident of Eugene, Lane Co., Oregon, for 31 years. Oregon Death Index 1903-1998, #13105.
  LeRoy served as curator of the herbarium at the University of Oregon from 1939 until his death in 1967. A graduate of Gridley Union High School in 1916, he attended Philomath College, and then the University of Oregon, where he received a BA degree in romance languages in 1921. He taught high school Latin and French in Wallowa, Oregon, and he received a Master's degree in French from Stanford University in 1923. He returned to Oregon to teach romance languages at Willamette University in Salem from 1924-1926, and at the University of Oregon from 1927-1930.
  According to a brief article published in the Oregon Flora (http://www.oregonflora.org/ofn/v7n3/Detling.html), daughter Eileen states that Louis F. Henderson, curator of the plant collection, served as LeRoy Detling 's mentor. Henderson had a degree in romance languages from Cornell University, and she speculated this mutual interest may have originally brought the men together. Detling returned to Stanford and received a second master 's degree in botany in 1933 and a Ph.D. in 1936.
  When Henderson retired as curator of the herbarium in 1939, Detling succeeded him a full-time curator and directed it for nearly 30 years. He traveled to Mexico five times to study the migration and origins of current western flora.
