He was an expert on New Zealand poisonous plants and the taxonomy and reproductive biology of New Zealand grasses, and served as the director of the Botany Division of the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. BiographyBorn in Wellington[1] on 4 August 1922,[2] Connor was the son of James Connor and Margaret Edith Connor (née Byrne). He was educated at St Patrick's College, Wellington,[3] and then studied at Victoria University College, graduating Bachelor of Science in 1948 and Master of Science with first-class honours in 1950.[4] In his early scientific career, he catalogued plants that were dangerous to livestock, leading to the publication of the book, The Poisonous Plants in New Zealand, in 1951, and an expanded edition in 1977, which is regarded as the canonical text on the subject.[5] However, his major body of research was concerned with the taxonomy and reproductive biology of New Zealand grasses.[5][6][7] Working at the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) for 40 years, Connor rose to become director of the Botany Division.[1] He was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science by Lincoln College in 1978 on the basis of papers submitted.[8][9] Following his retirement from the DSIR in 1982, Connor continued working at the University of Canterbury as an honorary fellow. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1983.[10] Connor served on various statutory authorities, including the North Canterbury Nasella Tussock Board, the North Canterbury Catchment Board and the Mount Cook National Park Board.[1] In 2000, Connor was awarded the Hutton Medal of the Royal Society of New Zealand jointly with Elizabeth Edgar for their contributions to the documentation and botanical classification of New Zealand flora.[11] Together they authored the final volume, volume 5, of the series Flora of New Zealand devoted to grasses, which was published in 2000.[12] Connor was appointed a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2002 Queen's Birthday and Golden Jubilee Honours for services to botany.[13] He died in Christchurch on 26 July 2016,[14] and his ashes were buried at Waimari Cemetery.[15] Taxonomist{{botanist|Connor|inline=yes}}References1. ^1 2 {{cite news | title=Botany has its big day | date=3 June 2002 | work=The Press | page=9 | first=Mike | last=Crean}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Connor, Henry}}2. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/search/search?path=%2FqueryEntry.m%3Ftype%3Ddeaths | title=Death search: registration number 2016/20044 | website=Births, deaths & marriages online | publisher=Department of Internal Affairs | accessdate=14 July 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=https://royalsociety.org.nz/who-we-are/our-people/our-fellows/obituaries/fellows-obituaries/henry-eamonn-connor/ | title=Henry Eamonn Connor | first1=Matt | last1=McGlone | first2=Ilse | last2=Breitwieser | date=31 May 2017 | publisher=Royal Society of New Zealand | accessdate=14 July 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://shadowsoftime.co.nz/university6.html |title=NZ university graduates 1870–1961: Co–Cu |date= |website= |publisher= |accessdate=28 July 2016}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/photograph/9775/henry-connor |title=Poisonous plants and fungi – poisonous native plants |date=8 July 2013 |website=Te Ara – the Encyclopedia of New Zealand |publisher=Ministry for Culture and Heritage |accessdate=28 July 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.royalsociety.org.nz/organisation/academy/fellowship/current-fellows/?f=henry-connor |title=Henry Connor |date= |website= |publisher=Royal Society of New Zealand |accessdate=28 July 2016}} 7. ^{{cite journal |url=http://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.person.bm000150832 |title=Connor, Henry Eamonn |date= |website=JSOTR Global Plants |publisher= |accessdate=28 July 2016|doi=10.5555/al.ap.person.bm000150832 |doi-broken-date=2019-03-08 }} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://primo-direct-apac.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/LIN:All_resources:AlmaLincoln2134582600002141 |title=Library search |date= |website= |publisher=Lincoln University |accessdate=28 July 2016}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://livingheritage.lincoln.ac.nz/nodes/view/3763 |title=Graduation ceremony |year=1978 |website= |publisher=Lincoln College |accessdate=28 July 2016 | page=3}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://royalsociety.org.nz/organisation/academy/fellowship/fellows-1919-present/a-c/ |title=The Academy: A–C |date= |website= |publisher=Royal Society of New Zealand |accessdate=28 July 2016}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.royalsociety.org.nz/programmes/awards/hutton-medal/recipients/ |title=Hutton Medal |date= |website= |publisher=Royal Society of New Zealand |accessdate=28 July 2016}} 12. ^{{cite web |url=http://floraseries.landcareresearch.co.nz/pages/Book.aspx?fileName=Flora%205.xml |title=Series: Flora of New Zealand, volume: Gramineae |year=2004 |website= |publisher=Landcare Research |accessdate=28 July 2016}} 13. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.dpmc.govt.nz/node/384 |title=Queen's Birthday and Golden Jubilee honours list 2002|date=3 June 2002|publisher=Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet |accessdate=28 July 2016}} 14. ^{{cite news | url=http://deaths.press.co.nz/obituaries/the-press-nz/obituary.aspx?n=henry-connor&pid=180804948 | title=Henry Connor death notice | date=28 July 2016 | work=The Press | accessdate=28 July 2016}} 15. ^{{cite web | url=http://heritage.christchurchcitylibraries.com/Cemeteries/interment.asp?id=162313 | title=Cemeteries database | publisher=Christchurch City Council | accessdate=14 July 2017}} 16 : New Zealand botanists|New Zealand taxonomists|1922 births|2016 deaths|Fellows of the Royal Society of New Zealand|Companions of the New Zealand Order of Merit|People associated with Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (New Zealand)|People from Wellington City|People educated at St. Patrick's College, Wellington|Lincoln University (New Zealand) alumni|Victoria University of Wellington alumni|Burials at Waimairi Cemetery|20th-century New Zealand scientists|21st-century New Zealand scientists|20th-century botanists|21st-century botanists |
