Early life


Anderson was born in Batesville, Mississippi, and attended the Mississippi State University when he was only 16. After graduating with his B.A., he undertook postgraduate studies in botany at Duke University. He received a master's degree in 1933. It was here where Anderson became interested in mosses while studying under Hugo Leander Blomquist. At age 22, he received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.[2]



Career


In 1936, Anderson was added to the botany faculty at Duke University to specialize cytology, and he was given the responsibility of curating the moss herbarium. Anderson’s research then began to shift from cellular cytology to the ecology and classification of mosses. He, with the help of his colleague Ruth Margery Addoms, built the institution's first general botany course.[3]


Anderson frequently collaborated with Howard A. Crum, and in 1981, the two published a two-volume flora on the mosses of eastern North America. Anderson continued to expand the bryophyte herbarium at Duke, and he helped to develop a graduate program in bryology.[4] He retired from Duke in 1982.[2]


During World War II, Anderson took leave from Duke to serve on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. He was discharged as a Lieutenant Commander.[2]



Legacy


The moss genus Bryoandersonia was named after him by Harold E. Robinson. Some species, including Bryocrumia andersonii, also bear his name.


In 1998, the bryophyte herbarium at Duke University was officially named the L.E. Anderson Bryophyte Herbarium. It holds approximately 260,000 specimens.[5]
