following ten years produced a set of fine watercolours of the wild flowers in the area. On her return
to England in 1867, she used her paintings to illustrate this beautiful work. Unusually, she made the
stone lithographs herself, while the botanist Ferdinand von Mueller (to whom Charsley in fact dedicated
the whole work) added the botanical classifications. Von Mueller was so impressed with the botanical
accuracy of her work, that he named an Australian flower, Helipterum charsleyae, in her honour.](Photo) $2,000 - $2,500
