L. Lovell joined the Queensland department of Public Instruction in 1872 after migrating from England in 1863. In 1880 she was appointed sole teacher at the small and remote Sandy Cape provisional school. During her sixteen or so years there Lovell collected specimens which she sent to the Queensland Museum and to Colonial Botanist FM Bailey. Baley commemorated her by naming three plants after her: Drosera lovellae (now D. spathulata), Pithecellobium lovelliae (now Archidendron lovelliae) and Rhaphidophora lovelliae (now Epipremnum pinnatum). In 1890 she even described a 'sea monster' which she and a few locals had spotted near Sandy Cape beach. After retiring from teaching due to ill health in December 1895, Lovell moved to Cooktown in Queensland and continued to make collections. Lovell, Selina Frances Nanette Louise (1827-1905)
