Robert Everard Woodson papers, 1927-1963.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61772677

The correspondence series here is from 1927-1947, before Woodson became curator of the herbarium in 1948. The research series includes correspondence, notes, data, graphs, manuscripts, and microscope slides concerning butterfly weed, Asclepsias tuberosa. The bulk of the material appears to be unpublished research on leaf growth in Asclepsias tuberosa, 1961-1963. The rest appears to be on two papers: 1) "Butterfly weed revisited," Evolution 18: 168-85 (June 1962) and "The geography of flower color in butterfly weed" Evolution 18(2): 143-163 (June 1964). "Butterfly weed revisited," a study of natural selection in the field was a study of field samples of Asclepsias tuberosa collected in the same localities from Kansas to Norfolk, Virginia in 1946 and 1960. Data for both years is in a card file organized geographically. Miscellaneous includes photographs of his cabin at the Missouri Botanical Garden Arboretum and lecture notes from student days at Washington University.
