At the 1995 annual meeting of SABS, the 5th annual Richard and Minnie Windier Award was presented by Dr. Lawrence Mellichamp to Dr. Patricia B. Cox for her paper entitled, “A Taxonomic Revision of Rudbeckia subg. Macrocline (Asteraceae: Heliantheae: Rudbeckiinae)” which appeared in Castanea 59(4): 300-318. Although Dr. Cox is currently in the Division of Biology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, the research was conducted at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge. Funding for the printing of the manuscript was provided by a grant (NSF LASWE/EPSCoR 92-96-ADP-02) to the coauthor, Lowell E. Urbatsch.
