Stephanie Lyon developed a passion for botany in her early years, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, in eastern Tennessee.\u00a0 As an undergraduate she took a lot of field ecology classes, worked for the arboretum, and interned with the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center studying native orchids and their mycorrhizal fungi. She spent a year researching the pollination ecology of purple cone flower in western Minnesota, and two years doing plant identification, data management, and statistics for ecologists at the University of Minnesota. Lyon earned her doctorate at UW-Madison, studying botany in the Givnish lab, specializing in orchid systematics and ecology. <\/span><\/p>\n Lyon joined the biology department at UW-Stevens Point where she teaches several botany classes including Vascular Plant Taxonomy and Agrostology and serves as director of the UWSP Herbarium and the UWSP Tropical Conservatory<\/a>. She also serves as the Olson Museum of Natural History curator of botanical collections.<\/span><\/p>\n Tandang, D.N.,\u00a0 T. Reyes Jr. R.A.A. Bustamante, J.R.C. Callado, E.R. Tadiosa, E.M.
