Charles Piper Smith

Charles Piper Smith (1877 – 1955) was an American botanist.[1] Smith's work primarily involved the genus Lupinus, specifically the subgenus Platycarpos. His extensive field research was centralized to the western coast of the United States, with a large majority of his observations taking place in California and Oregon.[2][3] In his career, he published around 800 botanical classifications consisting of both new species and new variants of already established species. [1]

Works

The most notable of his published works is his series of journals known as Studies in the Genus Lupinus posted in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club, which was once an academic journal publication for what is now known as the Torrey Botanical Society. 11 volumes of Studies in the Genus Lupinus were published by Smith over the span of 7 years (1917-1924).[4][5]
