Torrey says that the specific epithet andrewsiana honors a certain "Dr. Andrews" who provided flowering specimens for examination.[1] But who is the mysterious Dr. Andrews? Tom Scavo (talk) 15:09, 22 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Mystery solved! Torrey named Clintonia andrewsiana in honor of Dr. Timothy L. Andrews (1819–1908), elected as curator of botany for the California Academy of Sciences in January 1855.[2]Tom Scavo (talk) 16:21, 22 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
