He successfully held leadership positions at the University of the Philippines, University of California, and the New York Botanic Garden before coming to Harvard. A productive scientist, Dr. Merrill specialized in the flora of Asia and the Pacific Islands. He published nearly 500 papers and books, and was responsible for adding hundreds of thousands of mounted specimens to research collections. Merrill compiled a handbook: Emergency food plants and poisonous plants of the Islands of the Pacific, which was used as the basis for survival manuals issued to World War II military personnel. His funded field work programs led to locating the Metasequoia glyptostroboides or Dawn redwood tree, which was proviously thought to be extinct.".
