Description
English: After Roxana Judkins Stinchfield Ferris (1895-1978) received an A.M. in botany from Stanford University (1916), she joined the research and curatorial staff of the university's Dudley Herbarium. Throughout her career, which continued after the death of her husband, Stanford entomologist Gordon Floyd Ferris (1893-1958), and even after her official retirement in 1963, she collected over 14,000 botanical specimens, served as co-editor of the classic reference work Illustrated Flora of the Pacific States, and wrote such books as Death Valley Wildflowers and Flowers of Point Reyes National Seashore.
