Davenport, Geo. E. (George Edward), 1833-1907
Variant namesDavenport is noted for his botanical avocations, especially his research on ferns, though he made his living in business. He joined the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 1872; and by 1875 he had compiled a herbarium of North American ferns. Shortly after, Davenport began publishing articles on ferns, which he continued doing until his death, and also wrote on forestry and horticulture.
