" In 1916, Muenscher took a position as instructor of botany at Cornell University, where he spent the rest of his career. He went on to acquire his doctorate degree in plant physiology in 1921 from Cornell after spending 1918-1919 in the Army. Muenscher was appointed Assistant Professor in 1923 and Professor in 1937. In addition to his work at Cornell, Muenscher was a consultant for the USDA, the Tennesee Valley Authority, and the New York State Biological Survey. Being an expert on weeds gave rise to a publication aptly named Weeds, that was published in 1935. Muenscher's teaching of taxonomy resulted in his work Keys to Woody Plants as an aid for his class, but it became widely popular and much in demand. His interests in other plants took him into the area of aquatics, which resulted in a work called Aquatic Plants of the United States. Muenscher was also interested in poisonous flora and produced Poisonous Plants of the United States. After studying herbs, he later helped to write Garden Spice and Wild Pot-Herbs, illustrated with woodcuts by Elfriede Abbe." (from Cornell, Univ. ) 2 #49508 $20
