Abstract
THE main writings of Miss E. R. Saunders relate to floral morphology. The most important of them were issued between 1923 and 1936 in the Annals of Botany, the New Phytologist, the Journal and the Proceedings of the Linnean Society, the Journal of Botany and the Journal of Genetics, and in two volumes published by Messrs. Heifer and Sons. The earliest of them furnished a factual basis for a new and interesting outlook on gynoecial morphology; the later documents elaborated a theory of carpel polymorphism and brought to focus important problems of systematic and evolutionary interest which are still unsolved.
