Abstract
The life and career of Robert Statham Williams (1859–1945) is sketched. His trip to Bolivia and Peru in 1901–1902 is discussed at length and an itinerary, with dates, is provided. Details concerning the numbering and distribution of his vascular plant collections are given, and notes are provided concerning the typification of the new species that Henry Hurd Rusby (1855–1940) based on these collections. An annotated catalog of vascular plant species described from Williams' Bolivian and Peruvian plant collections is appended, as is a gazetteer of the place names cited in Williams' field books and publications based on Williams' vascular and cryptogamic plant collections. One new combination,Oxypetalum apoloensis, and one new name,Acalypha rusbyi, are proposed. Lectotypes are designated forGothofreda apoloensis andCedrela brunellioides.
