Biography
Filipino botanist. José Vera Santos was professor of botany at the University of the Philippines. During the Second World War, in 1941, he collected in Sonora with Stephen White and again in Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Puebla, in 1943-1944, in connection with experimental work on the Pará rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex A. Juss.) Müll. Arg.). While stationed at the Rubber Experimental Camp in El Palmar, he also made collections of mosses from the Zongolica area and localities in nearby Oaxaca and Puebla.
