Hello, my dear leaflets,

Annie Richards was the first white woman to reside in Fowler Bay and lived through the harsh conditions of that area. She collected flowers for Mueller and Tate. She was instrumental in the collating of some of the amazing plant specimens in the collection housed at the National Australian Herbarium.

Plants synonymous to Annie and Thomas:

Eucalyptus youngiana F.Muell (1876) as 'Richardson',

Erysimum richardsii F.Muell. (1877),

Parmelia hypoxantha Müll.Arg. (1881),

Parmelia conspersa var. polyphylloides Müll.Arg. (1883),

Puccinia wurmbeae Cooke & Massee (1888),

Helipterum troedelii F.Muell. (1890), as 'Mrs Richards',

Helipterum jessenii F.Muell. (1890),

Bassia longicuspis F.Muell. (1891), as 'Mrs Richards', and

Nicotiana goodspeedii H.-M.Wheeler (1935), as 'Richards'.
