Sara Allen Plummer Lemmon (1836 to 1923) was an American botanist. Mount Lemmon in Arizona is named for her, because she was the first Euro-American woman to ascend it. She was responsible for the designation of the golden poppy, Eschscholzia californica, as the state flower of California in 1903. A number of plants are also named in her honor, including the genus Plummera, now placed as a subgenus within Hymenoxys, which the botanist Asa Gray described in 1882. The source lead for this entry is a short paragraph, so it records her nationality, her field and the honours it names and leaves her fieldwork, collections and publications to further research from fuller sources.
