Alice Tryon completed her Bachelor's degree in 1941 at Milwaukee State Teacher’s College (now the University of Wisconsin).[1] She completed her master’s thesis on the taxonomic utility of spore characters in the spikemoss genus Selaginella at the University of Wisconsin in 1945. Her Doctoral degree she received at Washington University in 1952, where her PhD dissertation was on the diversity and taxonomy of the New World species of Pellaea, a genus of xerically adapted ferns in the Pteridaceae.[2] She first began working with Rolla Milton Tryon, Jr. in 1945 as a student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In 1946, she became a member of the American Fern Society and became an honorary member in 1978.[1] The Tryons moved to Harvard in 1958, where they spent the majority of their professional careers.[3] At Harvard, they organized and offered an annual New England Fern Conference, which brought students and professors together in an informal and productive setting.[4] Becoming the first woman member of the New England Botanical Club in 1968, Tryon was elected President in 1978.[1]

OThroughout her career she worked closely with her husband, traveling internationally and frequently publishng together—including their systematic survey of the ferns, with emphasis on tropical America.[2][5][6] Her work on spore surface patterns was enhanced by her incorporation of scanning electron microscope images. With Bernard Lugardon, an authority on the interior structure of fern spores using transmission electron microscope images, published a complete survey of fern spore diversity in 1991.[7] Tryon also made significant contributions to the study of fern reproductive biology with her studies of apomixis in Pellaea.[8][9]
