The botanist-son visited the Hawaiian islands in 1864/65 with W. T. Brigham; became assistant to Asa Gray and instructor in botany at Harvard College; he died of "hasty consumption" (McCaughey 1919). His herbarium was purchased 1870 by Andrew D. White to become the basis of the present Wiegand Herbarium (CU). The Mann Library at Cornell University is named after Elbert R. Mann, former Dean of the School of Agriculture of Cornell. #### Eponymy *Hesperomannia* A. Gray (1865). ### Publications ##### n.5351.
