Biography[]

Florence Signaigo was born in Birmingham, Michigan, on February 18, 1919.[1][2] She studied at the College of William & Mary (B.A.), and the University of Michigan (M.A.), before receiving a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. Her Ph.D. dissertation, under , was titled, "Contributions to the Morphology of the Delesseriaceae. Florence Signaigo Wagner" (1954).[3]

She was employed as a botanist in Tunja, Colombia, and at the University of Michigan as a research scientist for more than five decades. Her international identifier on the International Plant Names Index is 31701-1. As is usual in botany, she is listed as an abbreviation rather than using her full name when quoted or mentioned: F.S.

She married Warren "Herb" Wagner, Jr. (1920–2000), and they had two children, Margaret and Warren.[6] She died in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on October 21, 2019.[4]

The standard author abbreviation F.S.Wagner is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[7]
