	Frederick Pursh (1774-1820)
		In lieu of a portrait of Pursh, of which none are known to exist, it seems appropriate to represent him by one of the hand-colored engravings that he published in his Flora Americae septentrionalis (Flowers of North America) in 1813.
		Pursh, the first laboratory or "cabinet" botanist to describe it in proper terms and details, officially named it Clarkia pulcella--"Beautiful Clarkia"--in honor of William Clark.
		Pursh made no attempt to disguise his indebtedness to the work of the two explorers, but on the other hand made no effort to return the specimens he had carried away.

		Pursh was born the same year as Lewis (1774) in Saxony and was a highly trained and ambitious botanist.
		Pursh worked on the material for over a year and was apparently ready for Lewis to return and work up the results.
		Pursh left the Lewis specimens with Bernard McMahon, a prominent Philadelphia horticulturist, who, along with Jefferson and others, was eagerly interested in the garden potential of plants collected in the Louisiana Territory.

		A bibulous gardener and artist from Saxony, Frederick Traugott Pursh (1744-1820) arrived in the United States in 1799 and worked in a succession of gardens in the mid-Atlantic states.
		Departing the Woodlands in 1805, Pursh was hired by Barton (with the recommendation of the seedsman and gardener Bernard M'Mahon) to collect plant specimens in Virginia and New York state and, afterwards, to illustrate the western specimens collected by Lewis and Clark.
		In typical fashion, however, Barton was delinquent in paying Pursh his promised salary, and in equally typical fashion, Pursh stewed over the injustice until January 1809, at which time he took duplicate copies of his illustrations and left.

		Three year later, in 1816, the French botanist Pierre Antoine Poiret formally proposed Purshia to honor Frederick Traugott Pursh (1774-1820).
		Curiously, Pursh stated that the shrub was also found along "the Columbia river." Bitterbrush does occur along the Columbia, but whether he had a specimen to support this statement, or Lewis told him it was there is unknown.

	NPWRC :: Crested Beardtongue (Penstemon eriantherus)
		The specific epithet eriantherus stems from the Greek erion "wool" and anthera "anther" in allusion to the tuft of hairs found on the sterile stamen instead of the pollen-bearing anther found on normal, fertile stamens.
		Crested beardtongue was first described for science by the eminent German botanist Frederick Traugott Pursh (1774-1820) in his monumental Flora Americae Septentrionalis of 1814.
		He was the first to publish on the many new plants collected by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1806.

		He became the patron of Frederick Traugott Pursh who while in America was unable to produce the flora of North America he wanted to, but who finally published the Flora Amaerica septentrionalis in England in 1814.
		The Lewis and Clark specimens taken to England in 1811 by Frederick Pursh were however returned to the United States and presented to the Academy of Natural Science in Philadelphia.
		Because Lewis died only three years after returning from the West, the publication of their finds was delayed, but eventually Frederick Pursh included them in his flora of North America called the Flora Americae septentrionalis which was published in 1813.

		However, Lewis then became governor of the Louisiana Territory (and soon after committed suicide), and Pursh made off to London with a quarter of Lewis's collection.
		Pursh made his name with a two-volume landmark book on American flora, written from across the Pond.
		He eventually died, poor, in Montreal, while Lewis's botanical booty stayed behind with another botanist in London--who later himself died, leaving the precious seeds, specimens, and other flora exotica to be auctioned off.
