Biography
United States botanist. The daughter of L.M. Goodding, Charlotte Reeder earned an MA in botany in 1939 under C.L. Porter at the University of Wyoming for a thesis on Mulhenbergia. She worked closely with her husband John R. Reeder on grasses during his appointments at Yale University and the University of Wyoming and since his retirement in 1976 has been based at the University of Arizona herbarium in Tucson. All their excursions in Arizona, Mexico, and Venezuela were made together. The botanical species Mulhenbergia reedorum is dedicated to them.
