This online talk tells the extraordinary story of Georgiana Molloy, one of Australia's first internationally successful female botanists.  Georgiana and her husband, Captain John Molloy, who emigrated to Australia in 1830 with the first group of European settlers to the remote southwest of Western Australia.  Here, despite personal tragedy, Georgiana's passion for flora was ignited. Entirely self-taught, she gathered specimens of indigenous flora from Augusta and Busselton that are now held in some of the world's leading herbarium collections
