Vera Scarth-Johnson, (1912 to 19 May 1999), was a noted botanist and botanical illustrator who is also remembered for her continual efforts to teach others to treasure the flora and environment of Australia and, in particular, the botanically rich region of Cooktown and the Endeavour River Valley, on Cape York Peninsula, in far northern Queensland. Exquisite colour paintings. Published posthumously National Treasures: the flowering plants of Cooktown and Northern Australia contains nearly 150 of Vera’s exquisite and botanically accurate paintings. Perhaps it was serendipitous that, unable as a woman to find employment in her chosen field of horticulture, she developed another significant talent by attending art college. pp. 184 #271115
