She corresponded with Jim Willis at the National Herbarium of Victoria regarding the identification of the plants she collected, sending duplicate specimens for incorporation into the Herbarium. Ramsay was also in contact with botanists from the University of Melbourne and interstate, such that her collection was a reliable herbarium of the Mallee flora. It included plants not previously recorded for Victoria and many weed species. Ramsay donated her collection of 1,000 specimens to the Mildura Arts Centre in 1960. It remained in the hands of the local council until 2016 when the Mildura Rural City Council acceded to its transfer to the National Herbarium of Victoria. 1949 1949 Career position - Foundation Member, Sunraysia Field Naturalists Club Chandler, Leslie Gordon (1888 - 1980) Patton, Reuben Tom (1883 - 1962) Willis, James Hamlyn (Jim) (1910 - 1995) National Herbarium of Victoria (1896 - )
