On April 11, 2019, Dr. William Mark Whitten,
a prolific neotropical orchid biologist passed away
unexpectedly. He leaves an extensive corpus of work
focused on (but not limited to) orchid pollination
and systematics, and over four thousand beautifully
prepared herbarium specimens. Everyone that met
Mark can agree that he was a wonderful human
being, kind to everyone, incredibly knowledgeable
and yet very humble. Always of a calm demeanor,
great sense of humor, and willingness to help, Mark
was an outstanding and relatable collaborator, and
his publications (more than a hundred; see list below)
are evidence of a productive and highly collaborative
academic career.
