The University of North Carolina
has found only a few specimens collected by Sadie Price in our
collection, but we hope to find more as the databasing and cataloging
proceeds.

Apios priceana
Robinson
B. L. Robinson (1898) A new species of Apios from Kentucky. Botanical
Gazette 25 (6): 450- 453.
“The plant here characterized was discovered some years
ago in open woods and thickets near Bowling Green, Kentucky, by
Miss Sadie F. Price. After noticing it for several seasons its
occurrence and peculiar characters, Miss Price, who recognized
its genus and believed it to be a new species, sent it to Professor
Charles F. Wheeler of Michigan Agricultural College for further
examination…Miss Price reports that the species often fail
to set fruit. She has observed that the flowers are visited by
the butterfly Eudamus tityrus and by both honey bees and bumble
bees, the latter appearing to find the nectarines very difficult
to access. The accompanying illustration was drawn from life by
Miss Price. It is a pleasure to commemorate in the specific name
of this noteworthy plant the work of such a careful observer of
the Kentucky flora.”

Cornus priceae Small
John K. Small (1901) A Kentucky Cornel. Torreya 1: 54.
“Several months since, Miss Sadie F. Price sent me flowering
specimens of a Cornus , which she had found growing on river banks
near Bowling Green. Later, at my request, she furnished me with
fruiting specimens from the same locality. This material is, apparently,
not referable to any species thus far described, and may hereafter
be known as Cornus priceae.”
Oxalis priceae Small
John K. Small (1898) Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club 25:
612.
“Miss Sadie Price, for whom this Oxalis is named, has furnished
me with copious material from near Bowling Green, where she has
observed this and other interesting species in the field for several
years.”
