		Martin noted that Gentry's locations largely seemed stable in terms of species composition, but in traveling more extensively in the region, he observed many plant species that Gentry had never encountered.
		The Rio Mayo project revised Gentry's work, adding new species discovered in the region by the team (both plants new to science and those whose ranges have been extended to the region), and documenting the effect of nearly 60 years of increasing human impact.

		However, it was not till the work of Howard Scott Gentry did a thorough study appear.
		Gentry spent over twenty-five years traveling the world studying and collecting desert plants, agave in particular.
		As Howard Scott Gentry put it "The uses of agaves are as many as the arts of man have found it convenient to devise".

	Untitled Document
		Since Gentry the most prolific agave author is Bernd Ullrich who has written several important papers between 1990 and 1993 reassigning some names from Gentry's classification and also reassigning plants to different family groups on the basis of new evidence.
		This subgenus is recognised by Gentry (1982) on the basis of a spicate inflorescence where the flowers cling to the stalk in pairs or clusters.
		Agave macroculmis [Todaro] as assigned by Gentry to wild plants in habitat is now considered incorrect (he himself had doubts, p.601) and Todaro's plants have been identified as a form of agave atrovirens.

		To our knowledge, this is the first NSF grant to any of the animal or plant collections at the U. of A. At the outset, we estimated that the backlog included about 80,000 specimens, among them a number of historically important collections dating from as early as the 1890s.
		The following components of the backlog were identified, in this order, as highest priority: (1) Collections of Howard Scott Gentry: we accumulated these in several lots over the years.
		Some of the materials included in the "Gentry** collection" were unexpected: for example, a beautiful set of South African collections as well as some real gems from Iran, Brazil, and Argentina.

	Jojoba and jojoba farming
		This use was apparently unsuccessful but was a wake up call for the "Sleeping Princess Jojoba" as she (the oil) was called by Howard Scott Gentry, a renown Botanist of the Southwest.
		At the meeting Howard Scott Gentry said that "the road to jojoba development as a viable domesticated crop was a long and dusty one and when the entrepreneur, Dr. Jojoba and the farmer reached the end there wouldn't be any beer".
		In essence Gentry was saying that he couldn't see light at the end of the tunnel for jojoba production.

		The Rio Mayo region of northwestern Mexico is a major geographic area whose natural history remains poorly known to outsiders.
		Lying in a region where desert and tropical, northern and southern, and continental and coastal species converge, it boasts a flora first documented by Howard Scott Gentry in 1942 in a book now widely regarded as a classic of botanical literature.

		Gentry, meanwhile, went on with his life, oblivious to the wonders his discovery had wrought.
		On a visit to his laboratory at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, I had the immense pleasure of informing Gentry, 87, of the good deed his discovery had set in motion.

		During this time I began volunteering with Paul Martin's project to update Howard Scott Gentry's Rio Mayo Plants (Carnegie Institution No. 527, 1942).
		My main function in the project was then the identification of collected specimens, this, of course, involved many very enjoyable trips to the mountains and coast of western Mexico.
		Since little is known in the area, and we now have doubled the number of species that Gentry had listed, this is an exercise in finding one's way around a rather large and diffuse body of botanical literature.
