Sara Plummer Lemmon – for whom Mount Lemmon is named – is finally getting her due!

Posted Nov 03, 2021


On November 1, 2021, Wynne Brown’s new book The Forgotten Botanist: Sara Plummer Lemmon’s Life of Science and Art, was officially released by the University of Nebraska Press.  Some of you may remember Wynne’s wonderful presentation to the Tucson chapter of AZNPS about 3 years ago, back when we were still meeting at Ward 6 offices.  After 6 years of Wynne’s energy, effort, and dedication, her account of one of Arizona’s remarkable women is now available for your reading pleasure. 

Here is a link to an AZPM story about Wynne and her research, from 2019.
