Scamman, Edith Henry, 1882-1967.

Scamman (Wellesley College, B.A. 1907; Radcliffe, M.A. 1909) later studied botany with M. L. Fernald and made several collecting trips to Alaska to study plant distributions in unglaciated areas; as a result, some 5000 specimens were given to the Gray Herbarium. In 1947 her work on ferns in New Hampshire was published; she then studied the ferns of Costa Rica, which resulted in four articles. Between 1942 and 1967 Scammon was associated with Gray Herbarium as a member of the Visiting Committee and as a research associate.
