Willard Webster Eggleston

Willard Webster Eggleston (March 28, 1863 in Pittsfield, Vermont - November 25, 1935 in Washington, D.C.) was an American botanist, employed by the United States Department of Agriculture Bureau of Plant Industry. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1891 with a Bachelor of Science degree.[1] In his work on the taxonomy of Crataegus, now known to be complicated by apomixis, polyploidy, and hybridization,[2][3] he aimed to simplify, counteracting the proliferation of species names that other botanists had produced.[4]
