Velva Elaine Rudd (1910, Fargo, North Dakota[1] – 9 December 1999) was an American botanist, specializing in tropical legumes.[2]

Education and career

Velva Rudd wrote her master's thesis at North Dakota Agricultural College on Euphorbia virgata (leafy spurge).[3] In 1953 she received her Ph.D. in botany from George Washington University. She was from 1948 to 1959 an assistant curator and from 1959 to 1973 a curator at the Department of Botany, United States National Herbarium in the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, DC; she started there as a technician under Kitty Parker. Rudd specialized in Fabaceae and wrote more than 70 papers on the taxonomy of tropical species of legumes. Her contributions include a six-part monograph published from 1955 to 1968 in Contributions from the United States National Herbarium; the monograph deals with seven genera: Aeschynomene, Ateleia, Chaetocalyx, Cyathostegia, Dussia, Nissolia, and Ormosia.[2] In 1973 she retired as a curator of the National Herbarium.[2] She became a Research Fellow in the Department of Biology of the California State University, Northridge until her death.[4][5] Her field work was carried out in many tropical locations, including Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Venezuela, and Sri Lanka.[2]

North Dakota State University's Department of Biological Sciences sponsors an annual Dr. Velma E. Rudd Scholarship Award for botany juniors or seniors.[6]
