	George Engelmann
		ENGELMANN, George, botanist, born in Frankfort on the Main, Germany, 2 February 1809; died in St. Louis, Missouri, 11 February 1884.
		Engelmann's botanical collection, valuable as containing the original specimens from which many or most of our western plants have been named and described, will be given to Shaw's botanical garden as soon as a fireproof building can be erected.
		His son, George Julius, physician, born in St. Louis, Missouri, 2 July 1847, was graduated with the valedictory at Washington University in 1867, then studied at the universities of Thbingen, Vienna, Paris, and received his medical degree at Berlin in 1871.

	Missouri's First Botanists
		However, Engelmann also was instrumental in arranging for various botanists to accompany more than 30 expeditions to the western United States, and it was the wealth of specimens he accumulated on these trips that made him an expert on western American flora.
		Perhaps Engelmann's most enduring contribution to botany was his large role in the founding of the Missouri Botanical Garden, and especially of its famous library and herbarium, which are today among the biggest and best botanical research facilities in the world.
		Engelmann convinced him to include a museum in the initial plans and to provide funds for trips to Europe, where he purchased large quantities of books and specimens that are still an important part of the Garden's research program today.

		On learning that a market existed for dried plants, he scraped an acquaintance with George Engelmann at St. Louis, who trained him in collecting and, with Asa Gray as co-sponsor, sent him with Abert to the Southwest, where, as Gray recalled, Fendler was the first to collect botany.
		Another botanizing friend of George Engelmann, Parry was born in England, came to the United States with his family at the age of nine, graduated at Union College, and then took an M.D. at Columbia, where he studied with John Torrey.
		George Engelmann, a friend of university days, persuaded him to collect botanical specimens, an exercise at which he proved to be sufficiently adept (in part owing to his care to maintain good relations with the Indians) to win the esteem of Asa Gray.

		The saguaro blooms and produces a crop of succulent fruits during the driest period of the year—the hot, often rainless months of late spring and early summer.
		In addition, numerous references concerning historical observations on the timing of saguaro fruit harvest by aboriginal peoples are noted by Castetter and Bell (1937).

	Who's In a Name: Josiah Gregg
		Though Engelmann named some of Gregg's new species (especially the cacti), Gray had much greater herbarium and library resources, and it was Gray who named most of them.
		C. Short was one of his favorites among the professors, and probably, along with Engelmann's influence, stimulated in Gregg an interest in the flora of unexplored places, particularly as sources of plants with potential medical use.
		Even had Engelmann's name been the first for this plant, the genus name could not have survived because of rules adopted for naming plants (see next paragraph).
