The Botanical Society of America proudly supports the Conservation
and Research Foundation in honoring the memory of DR. JEANETTE SIRON
PELTON. The Jeanette Siron Pelton Award is made by the The Conservation
and Research Foundation of New London, CT, through the Botanical
Society of America, for sustained and creative contributions in
experimental plant morphology. BSA appoints the nomination
committee and presents the award at the annual meeting. Beginning
in 1998, the recipient of the Pelton Award is invited to present
