Her analysis of plant features was extensive and included gross morphology and genetics to molecular biology. She forged productive working relationships with other botanists, particularly Michael Crisp and Bruce Maslin, and supervised the postgraduate research of students studying a wide range of plant from Ericaceae, Proteaceae and Cyperaceae to bryophytes. Her major revision of the genus Jacksonia was completed in manuscript at her death, and prepared for publication by colleagues. A further project was the revision of How to know Western Australian wildflowers after the death of its author Brian Grieve; lack of funding precluded work beyond the completion of keys for the families and genera of monocotyledons. Chappill made substantial improvements of the University of Western Australia Herbarium, systematically filling gaps and adding over 6,000 specimens to the Herbarium. 1983 1983 Education - Master of Science (MSc), University of Melbourne 1988 1988 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Melbourne 1989 1991 Career position - Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 1991 2006 Career position - Lecturer in botany, University of Western Australia The University of Western Australia (1911 - )
