Ynes Enriquetta Julietta Mexia (1870-1938) was born on May 24, 1870, in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. She lived in Texas, Philadelphia, and Mexico City before she moved to San Francisco in 1908. She was a social worker before she went to the University of California at the age of 51. There, she developed an enthusiasm for botany. In 1925, she began a series of trips to remote locations in South and Central America, and Alaska. She collected over 150,000 specimens, and more than 500 species of plants. Many of the plants that she found were named after her. She died on July 12, 1938.
