Anne Mary Perceval (1790-1876): An Early Botanical Collector in Lower Canada
|
| Abstract |
Horticulturalist Anne Mary Perceval (1790-1876) was the daughter of Sir Charles Flower (1763-1835), Lord Mayor of London. She arrived in Quebec in 1810 when her husband, Michael Henry Perceval (1779-1829), was appointed collector of customs. She is credited with discovering around 150 new American species of plants. The Percevals acquired Spencer Wood, a large estate with extensive woodlands in Sillery, part of what is today the Bois de Coulonge. She returned to Britain in 1828.
