the position of Honorary Member as a slight token of their appreciation of
her past services. Her collection of dried plants, consisting of some 1,200
sheets of British Plants collected between 1916 and 1939, was presented by
her to the Club in 1951, together with her notebook, which gives numerous
localities of Essex plants.
