Biography / Administrative History
Adriance Sherwood Foster was a pioneer in the field of plant anatomy. He was the first plant anatomist on the faculty at
University of California, Berkeley, teaching there from 1934 until his retirement in 1968. Some of his areas of investigation
were leaf differentiation, shoot growth and development, and leaf venation. He published over 35 articles and two introductory
textbooks:
Practical Plant Anatomy and
Comparative Morphology of Vascular Plants, co-written by Ernest Gifford. Foster was born in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1901, was educated at Cornell and Harvard,
and received his D.Sc. in plant anatomy in 1926, studying under Irving Bailey.
Scope and Content of Collection
This collection consists predominantly of black and white photographs and associated negatives of plant tissues and leaf clearings,
some of which were used for publication. About five different genera were photographed with the majority being of
Circaeaster, Kingonia, Ginkgo, and
Zamia. Series 1 consists of five folders of research notes and drafts used either for publication or lectures. Series 2 forms
the bulk of the collection.
Arrangement
The collection is organized into two series: Series 1 Research Notes and Series 2 Photographs. The photographs are arranged
alphabetically by plant genus and, within each genus, chronologically by the date on the photo.
