| Date | 16 March 1961 |
| Description | Certificate of Election |
| Citation | Distinguished for her contributions to cytotaxonomy especially in relation to the evolution and geographical distribution of the Pteriodophyta. She had successfully elucidated the complex fine structure of flagella many years ago by skilful ultraviolet microscopy and these deductions have been fully confirmed and extended by electron microscopy in her own and other laboratories. She has continued to make important comparative studies of plant motile organs using electron microscopy and is an acknowledged leader in this field |
