In 1859 Newberry published the first State Catalogue of Ohio Plants. About 1865 he was made professor of Geology and palaeontology at Columbia College School of Mines which position he held until his death. His chief botanical work was in palaeo-botany though quite a number of living plants as well as many fossil species commemorate his name.

H. C. Beardslee.—Born in Connecticut. Died December, 1884, in Painesville, O. He came to Ohio and became a practicing physician at Painesville. He published the second State Catalogue of Ohio Plants in 1874. This was a pamphlet of nineteen pages; it was reprinted in the State Agricultural reports of 1877. After his death Dr. Beardslee’s herbarium of about 4000 species, especially rich in Carices, Grasses, and Salices, was given to Oberlin College. The following species was named in his honor:
- Chantransia violacea Beardslei, a species of fresh-water Alga.
Andrew Price Morgan.—Born at Centerville near Dayton, Oct. 27, 1836, now living in Hamilton County. He has done much toward the development of Mycology in this country. He has made known a large number of higher fungi of the south-eastern part of Ohio. He is the author of many new species. A number of plants belonging to the group of Fungi have been named in his honor, as follows:
- Boletus Morgani, a species of Polyporeae.
- Polyporus Morgani, a species of Polyporeae.
- Lepiota Morgani, a species of Leucosporeae.
- Russela Morgani, a species of Leucosporeae.
- Cantharellus Morgani, a species of Leucosporeae.
- Hypoxylon Morgani, a species of Pyrenomycetaceae.
There is also one species of Agaricineae named for Mrs. Morgan:
- Hygrophorus Laurae, a species of Fungus.
William Ashbrook Kellerman.—Born at Ashville, Ohio May 1, 1850. He was educated at Cornell and the German Universities, receiving the degree of Ph.D. in 1881.
For a time he was teacher of natural science in the Wisconsin State Normal School, later was professor of Botany and Zoology at the Kansas Agricultural College, State Botanist of Kansas, and Botanist of the Kansas Experiment Station. He was the founder and editor (for four years) of the Journal of Mycology. He has held the position of Professor of Botany in the Ohio State University since 1890 and is the author of a number of text-books and articles for botanical journals. He has accumulated a very large and valuable private Herbarium of parasitic fungi, and a State Herbarium of the Flora of Ohio for the Ohio State University that already numbers many thousands of mounted sheets. The names given by botanists complimentary to his work are as follows:
