A. P. (Andrew Price) Morgan

Born in Dayton, Ohio, Andrew Price Morgan was an American botanist and mycologist. Sources found during this search describe him as being born on October 27, 1836, and note that he worked as a high school teacher in Dayton before continuing his scientific work in Ohio.

He is especially associated with the flora of the Miami Valley and published Flora of the Miami River, Ohio in 1878. He is also described as an important contributor to American mycology, with ties to other notable fungus researchers including Charles Peck and Curtis Gates Lloyd.

The material located for this entry points to Morgan as a respected specialist whose papers were preserved by the Lloyd Library. I wasn't able to confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages retrieved here, so no profile image is included.
