About this person
Her ability to find specimens was renowned and her work informed that of leading botanists with whom she corresponded and shared specimens. In the 21st century, Hutchins' work continues to be valued because contrasts between the species she was able to collect and those present today in the same locations provide insights into the effects of agriculture and changing climate on biodiversity.
