Treat, Mary, 1830-1923

Mary Treat (7 September 1830 – 11 April 1923 in Pembroke, New York) was a naturalist and correspondent of Charles Darwin. Treat's contributions to both botany and entomology were extensive: six species of plants and animals were named after her, including an amaryllis, Zephyranthes treatae, an oak gall wasp Bellonocnema treatae and three ant species Aphaenogaster mariae, Aphaenogaster treatae, and Dolichoderus mariae.
