Smithsonian Researchers
Francis Drouet
Foremost expert in protozoans and world’s largest collection of Cyanophyto specimens; Drouet Herbarium at the United States National
Herbarium, Smithsonian Museum and Institute; Extensive publications;
William Albert Setchell (1864-1943)

Born Norwich, CT; Yale and Harvard student and professor with Ph.D. in Botany;1895 moved to University of California, Berkeley;
Research at Woods Hole in Massachusetts; expert in various botanical areas including marine botany; Archives at the Brancroft Library,
University of California, Berkeley, CA.
Isaac Holden (1832-1903)

Born Preston, CT; Performed collection of Pequonnock River samples for Drouet and Setchell; Holden an amateur botanist and vice-
president of Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine Company; company owned by Nathaniel Wheeler a prominent Bridgeport, CT business
owner, banker, and politician; Excerpt from his obituary: “ His interest in botany was lifelong, but it was only in the last fifteen years of his life that
he made systematic collections and notes, chiefly on algae. In the study of these plants he was indefatigable, and had explored every nook and corner of the
coast near Bridgeport, as well as the fresh water streams and lakes for a considerable distance inland. In preparing his specimens he had an eye for the aesthetic
as well as the scientific value; it would be hard to find specimens of marine algae from any other collector at the same time so scientifically adequate and so
beautiful as those that he made. He was one of the three founders of the Phycotheca Boreali-Americana, and many of the best contributions in this work are
from him. He was intending to publish a list of the algae of Connecticut, but though his notes and records seem amply sufficient, he delayed it from his desire
for almost ideal accuracy and completeness. Hydrocoleum Holdeni Tilden and Gomontia Holdeni Collins, the former a marine, the latter a fresh water alga,
both discovered by him in Connecticut, commemorate his work.
He was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, and of the New England Botanical Club; and was for eight years president of the Bridgeport Scientific Society. In
1883 he spent six weeks in Florida; though going there on account of his health, his time was spent mostly in studying the land and marine plants; in 1897 he
visited Newfoundland, collecting many algae, some of which were distributed in the Phycotheca.”
