The Collection of Donovan S. Correll

Collection: Donovan S. Correll Collection

Creator: Donovan S. Correll

Extent: Approximately 1 file cabinet, 5 archive boxes (approximately 25 cubic feet)

Repository: The Bertram Zuckerman Garden Archive, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 11935 Old Cutler Road, Miami FL 33156

Abstract: Donovan S. Correll (1908–1983) was a plant taxonomist who, over a long and distinguished career, studied plants of America and authored more than 115 papers and 11 books, including Orchids of North America, North of Mexico, Ferns and Fern Allies of Texas, The Potato and its Wild Relatives, and Flora of the Bahama Archipelago (including the Turks and Caicos Islands), the latter researched and published in cooperation with Fairchild Tropical Garden. His donated papers pertain to his studies over the years from 1935 through 1983. Included are field note books of plant surveys and expeditions from throughout his career as well as correspondence that relates to the surveys and other matters. Pictures and negatives, some of which have been printed in one or another of his books or papers, are included. Files also include an extensive autobiography, Notes from a Singing Plant Explorer.

Administrative Information: No formal provenance for the collection existed prior to 2014. In 2011, in anticipation of the 30th anniversary of the publication of the Flora of the Bahama Archipelago, the formal curation of the collection began. The materials that are now part of the collection were scattered in boxes, files, and drawers, and about one third of the collection was discovered in files in the Herbarium. Mary Ellen Gelburg, FTBG Volunteer, was recruited to arrange the materials, and write a finding aid for the collection. The current finding aid was finished in 2014.

Acquisition Information: The papers were donated to Fairchild Tropical Garden by Mrs. Helen Correll, wife of Donovan Correll.

Access: The collection is open for research by appointment. Please consult the curator for access.

Usage Restrictions: None

Biographical Sketch: Donovan Stewart Correll (1908 – 1983) was born in Wilson, North Carolina April 13, 1908, the sixth of ten children conceived by father John and mother Lummie Jane (Foster) Correll. With a family so large, everyone needed to contribute, and young Donovan held a number of odd jobs around Winston-Salem, including that of cigarette packer for the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. But a sabbatical from high school to Florida in 1925–26 had a much greater effect in shaping his future life; there he was introduced to the wilds of Florida, then to the Florida Keys, Cuba, and the Bahamas. In Florida he also found his singing voice. His love of opera and the chance to sing in school productions brought him back home to finish high school. For the next five years Donovan sang in local productions until the failing economy and dismal prospects took him to Duke University, where he continued to pursue thoughts of a musical future while majoring in comparative religion and philosophy. Studies, however, turned to botany after Donovan met the woman who was to become his bride, Helen Elizabeth Butts. Admitted to graduate school at Duke, young Correll studied the native orchids of North Carolina, then with his MS completed he undertook for his PhD dissertation a study of the native orchids of the southeastern US. This work was completed in 1939, in part at Harvard University where Correll had obtained an Ames scholarship. Subsequently, Correll took a position at the Harvard University Botanical Museum and worked with Oakes Ames to compile a manuscript on the orchids of Guatemala; at the same time he expanded upon his dissertation work to include the orchids of North America north of Mexico.

The early years of World War II Correll continued at Harvard. Feeling that studying orchids was too remote from the war effort, he jumped at the opportunity to work for the USDA in late 1943. He was placed in the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction (the office established by David Fairchild in 1898) as an understudy to O. F. Cook, the retired palm expert. Challenged at age 34 by a co-worker to enlist, Donovan passed a Navy physical and was told to wait until he was needed; the call came in July, 1944. After being commissioned as a Lt.(jg) and training at Princeton University , he was designated an Armed Guard Officer and assigned to protect convoy ships taking supplies to the European theater of war and to Hawaii. A six-month stint with the Navy Board of Review of Discharges and Dismissals completed his naval career, and in 1946 he returned to Harvard as a Guggenheim Fellow to complete his North American orchid work and polish his and Professor Ames’ Orchids of Guatemala.

In 1947 Correll returned to the USDA and the Division of Plant Introduction where he explored for and studied wild species of potato and sought plant sources for the drug cortisone that controlled arthritis and hypertension diseases. Species of genera such as Dioscorea and Rauwolfia were established in the US at introduction gardens like the one in Miami at Chapman Field. One compound discovered as a result of this search was subsequently named correllogenin in honor of Donovan Correll.

In 1956 Correll became Head of the Botanical Laboratory, Texas Research Foundation, in Renner, Texas, where he continued his explorations for wild species of potato in Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Ecuador. Other plants also caught his attention, and on one Mexican exploration in Sonora a tiny member of the sunflower family caught his eye; it was of a new genus and subsequently named Correllia montana. His primary project in Texas, however, was the preparation of a complete work of the native and introduced plants of the state, and in 1970 he saw published the Manual of the Vascular Plants of Texas. He also helped to create the Big Thicket National Park and preserve nearly 100,000 acres of pristine wilderness.

From 1971 to 1973 Correll served as Program Director, Systematic Biology, with the National Science Foundation in Washington, DC. In 1973 he accepted a position as taxonomist with Fairchild Tropical Garden. With the support of a five-year grant from the National Science Foundation, he and his wife completed an illustrated Flora of the Bahama Archipelago.

Collection Scope and Content Note: The papers of Donovan S. Correll cover the period from 1935 to 1983. They include field notes and photographs used in publications as well as correspondence. A large portion of the content pertains to the publication of Flora of the Bahama Archipelago.
