Lady Anne Brewis MBE (26 March 1911 – 31 March 2002),[1][2] daughter of Roundell Cecil Palmer, 3rd Earl of Selborne was an English botanist.
As a child, Brewis had spent long holidays studying the orchids on Noar Hill,[3] near Selborne. This led her to study the works of Gilbert White, and eventually to a degree in Zoology at Somerville College, Oxford. Her marriage to John Brewis took her to many localities before returning to Hampshire on her husband's retirement.[4] Over the next 27 years, she meticulously catalogued hundreds of species,[5] and co-authored the definitive guide to Hampshire's plant life.[6] Every summer she would organise botanical safaris for local children.
