Larry was an active participant in PCA activities here in Washington, DC. 
We will miss his substantial botanical presence.

With great sadness we note the recent passing of Dr. Larry E. Morse, 
former chief botanist at NatureServe and a legend in plant conservation. 
After earning his Ph.D. in biology from Harvard University in 1979, Larry 
immediately started a nearly 30-year career in plant conservation, first 
with the Maryland Natural Heritage Program. In 1981 he was hired as one of 
the original natural heritage scientists at The Nature Conservancy (TNC), 
becoming TNC's Chief Botanist, and continuing his career at NatureServe 
until his retirement in 2006.
