A Festschrift for he life of William G. D'Arcy was
unusual in many respects. His research
career as a systematic botanist would
be considered exceptionally productive
even if begun in his twenties, rather than at
Atlonlic OtM"; age 41 when most scientists are already in mid¬
career. A native of western Canada, D'Arcy
developed early natural history interests.
In college he concentrated on economics, not

visualizing making a living in natural history.
In his early career he worked as an economist,
of a Taxonomist
and then as an entrepreneur in the British
West Indies. In that beautiful locale, a fascination
with the local flora gradually attracted more
and more of his energy. Deciding on a career
change, D'Arcy pursued master's (University of
Florida) and doctoral (Washington University)
degrees. In each case his thesis treated the
nightshade family, Solanaceae, the plant family
that remained his life-long passion.
During his doctoral work, D'Arcy was exposed
to the Missouri Botanical Garden's program
in Panamanian floristics. With this field
experience and Ph.D. in hand, he was appointed
by the Garden to organize the completion
of the multi-volume Flora of Panama project.
Coordinating a network of collaborators,
he accomplished this to a high standard within
a decade. Simultaneously, he developed the
first computerized database for a large flora.
Over the years at Missouri he rose to the
Edited by rank of Curator and became an internationally
recognized expert in the systematics and

and Thomas B. Croat with numerous collaborators and students,
D'Arcy investigated many structural and
physiological phenomena impinging on the
