Charles Leo Hitchcock (April 23, 1902 – February 3, 1986) was an American botanist.[1] He discovered 20 species of plants[2] and his works have been cited thousands of times.[3] He is also the primary co-author to the Flora of the Pacific Northwest, still the most up to date flora for three northwest U.S. States to date. A hall at the University of Washington is named in his honor, and he taught thousands of botanists over the course of his teaching career at the University of Washington.
