Benjamin Franklin Bush (botanist)
Bush's interest in the plant life of Jackson County stemmed in part from receiving a copy of Alphonso Wood's "Class-Book of Botany" as a young man. Trying to identify native species by using the text, he found only a small portion were mentioned. This led to his own eager cataloging of the new species and a robust correspondence relationship with Asa Gray and George Engelmann for instruction. Bush's first catalog of the flora of Jackson County was published in 1882.
