Rebecca Tyson Northen (August 24, 1910 – April 30, 2004) was an American author, educator, and conservationist known for her work on orchids.
She was recognized for popularizing orchids through her books and articles on their culture and has been referred to as the "Julia Child of Orchids".[1] Northen made contributions to orchid conservation, including the establishment of the Lankester Garden in Costa Rica.[2][3][4][5] She authored several books and articles on orchid culture, including Home Orchid Growing, which was first published in 1950.[6]

^"""El Silvestre", which Lankester kept when he sold the rest of his farm in 1955, was inherited by his daughter Dorothy (Fig. 20), but difficult financial circumstances made it seem impossible to fulfill Lankester's dream of conserving the place as an "orchid heaven". Dorothy was forced to put the garden up for sale. However, through the efforts of the Costa Rican Orchid Society and Costa Rican biologist Rafael Lucas Rodríguez, a group of members of the American Orchid Society (led by Rebecca T. Northen), raised half of the purchase price: $25,000. The other half was donated by the Stanley Smith Horticultural Trust of Great Britain."
