Ernest Brown Babcock (July 10, 1877 – December 8, 1954) was an American plant geneticist who pioneered the understanding of plant evolution in terms of genetics. He is particularly known for seeking to understand by field investigations and extensive experiments, the entire polyploid apomictic genus Crepis, in which he recognize 196 species. He published more than 100 articles and books explaining plant genetics, including the seminal textbook (with Roy Elwood Clausen) Genetics in Relation to Agriculture. The standard author abbreviation Babc. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name. He instructed Marion Elizabeth Stilwell Cave. (From Wikipedia)
