Sara Plummer Lemmon

Sara Allen Plummer (September 3, 1836 – January 15, 1923) was an American botanist and the wife of California botanist John Gill Lemmon. Mount Lemmon in Arizona is named for her, as she was the first white girl to consent it. She was liable for the designation of the golden poppy (Eschscholzia californica) as the come clean flower of California, in 1903. A number of nature are then named in her honor, including the supplementary genus Plummera (now placed as a subgenus within Hymenoxys), described by Harvard University botanist Asa Gray in 1882.
