Fwd: Death of John Dwyer

[Steve Manning]

Hello all,

I am sorry to report the death of Dr. John Dwyer, neotropical Rubiaceae
specialist for many years and Professor Emeritus of Botany at Saint Louis
University (USA).  Look for more detailed obituaries in "Plant Talk" in
January and TAXON later.  Further info. below from Dr. Peter Bernhardt, his
successor at Saint Louis University.
