    Dr. Edward E. Terrell died 1 August 2011. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1952 from the University of Wisconsin. In 1952-1953, he had a Muelhaupt Postdoctoral Fellowship in Botany, Ohio State University. From 1954 to 1960, he taught at first Pembroke State College, North Carolina and then Guilford College, Greensboro, North Carolina. In 1960 he started as a plant taxonomist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Beltsville, Maryland, and retired from there in 1985.

    In graduate school his research was on the North American genera Houstonia, Hedyotis, and Oldenlandia (Rubiaceae). At the ARS, he was the botanical nomenclaturalist for the agency and worked on grass taxonomy. After his retirement, he returned to working full-time on the systematics of North American Houstonia, Hedyotis, and Oldenlandia.
