Asa Gray, US botanist
Asa Gray (1810-1888), American botanist. Gray trained initially as a doctor, obtaining his M.D. in 1831. However, his real interest lay in botany, which he pursued successfully, being made professor of natural history at Harvard University, USA in 1842. Throughout his career Gray travelled frequently to Europe to examine plant specimens. In 1851 he met Charles Darwin, who became a regular correspondent. Gray became the leading American advocate of the theory of natural selection after Darwin published his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859

Born in 1810, Gray initially pursued a career in medicine and obtained his M. D. degree in 1831. However, it was his unwavering passion for botany that led him to become a renowned professor of natural history at Harvard University in 1842. Throughout his illustrious career, Gray embarked on numerous journeys to Europe to study and examine plant specimens. It was during one such expedition in 1851 that he had the privilege of meeting Charles Darwin, forging a deep intellectual connection between these two scientific minds. Their correspondence flourished over time as they exchanged ideas and theories. Following the publication of Darwin's groundbreaking book "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" in 1859, Gray emerged as one of its most ardent supporters within America. He became an influential advocate for the theory of natural selection, solidifying his position as a leading figure in biology.
