This committee is responsible for reviewing applications for the Webster Award.

The Grady L. Webster and Barbara D. Webster Award is a rotating award presented in alternating years by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists and the Botanical Society of America. Dr. Grady was an ASPT President (1982), BSA President (1993), and recipient of both the ASPT Asa Gray Award (2006) and the BSA Merit Award (1997). Dr. Barbara Webster served as the first woman Treasurer of the BSA (1977-81), as BSA President (1983), and was a stalwart supporter of the Society. The American Society of Plant Taxonomists and the Botanical Society of America are pleased to join together in honoring Grady and Barbara in this way.

The BSA component of the award, the Grady L. and Barbara D. Webster Structural Botany Publication Award recognizes the most outstanding paper published in the American Journal of Botany in the field of structural and developmental botany (i.e., anatomy and morphology) over the two-year period prior to the award year.

Committee members review the papers of the candidates with the goal of providing a $1000 award to one recipient.  This committee is chaired and appointed by the Editor in Chief of the American Journal of Botany.
