Notes
Louisa Anne Meredith (Twamley) was born in Birmingham in 1812. Despite her lack of formal education she had become an extremely competent writer, artist, botanist and naturalist by her teens and published her first book, Poems, at the age of twenty. She went on to publish several more books on flowers, including this volume. She married and moved with her husband to New South Wales and then to Tasmania, where she wrote two more books on her life there.
