Mark Wayne Chase

Mark Wayne Chase FRS (born 1951) is a US-born British botanist. He is noted for work in plant classification and evolution, and one of the instigators of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group-classification for flowering plants which is partly based on DNA studies. In particular he has researched orchids, and currently investigates ploidy and hybridization in Nicotiana.^[1]

In 1984, he received 'The George H.M. Lawrence Memorial Award', in the amount of $2,000, presented by the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, Carnegie Mellon University and presented at the annual banquet of the Botanical Society of America.^[2]

In 1998 he shared the Linnean Medal with Colin Patterson. In 2008 he was one of thirteen recipients of the Darwin-Wallace Medal, which was given every 50 years by the Linnean Society of London. He was the Keeper of the Jodrell Laboratory; he is now retired but still an honorary research associate at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society.^[3]

He was awarded the Veitch Memorial Medal of the Royal Horticultural Society in 2014.^[4]
