This web site is based on the list published by J.H. Willis, D. Pearson, M.T. Davis, and J.W. Green, Western Australian Herbarium Research Notes Number 12, August 1986. That original list has been supplemented by additional entries and some updates of dates, especially where people have died since that publication. Links to biographical notes and portraits have been added for some entries.

The introduction to the original list published by Willis et al is reproduced here: Introduction (1986)

I would like to thank Neville Marchant, Director of the Western Australian Herbarium which published the original list, for his support and permission to base this web site on the data within that publication. I also thank Tony Orchard, Director of ABRS Botany Section, for allowing me to use many of his biographical notes from Flora of Australia Vol.1 2nd ed as the basis for many of the links.

For some collectors and illustrators we have more detailed biographical notes.
