William Starling Sullivant (1803-1873), considered to be one of the greatest bryologists of the 19th century, lived his entire life in Ohio. He was a self-taught botanist who became an expert in mosses and liverworts. According to Asa Gray, Sullivant laid the foundation for the general study of bryology with his contribution of his account of the Musci and Hepaticae of the Ohio region to Gray’s Manual of the Botany of the Northern United States.
