Barbara Jeppe

Barbara Jeppe (21 May 1921 Pilgrim's Rest – 20 June 1999 Johannesburg) was a South African botanical artist.

Born in the mining town of Pilgrim's Rest, she was the daughter of Victor Brereton, a land-surveyor, and Gladys Evans.

At an early age her mother introduced her to the world of wild flowers.

Twenty years into her marriage, she illustrated her first book, Trees and Shrubs of the Witwatersrand (Witwatersrand University Press) with which she made her mark in the field of botanical art.

She died at the age of 78 in Johannesburg from complications after contracting pneumonia.
