Joanna Charlotte Davy

Joanna Charlotte Davy née Flemmich was an English plant collector and painter.

[1][2] Born in London in February 1865[3] to Charlotte and John Flemmich, a merchant, she grew up in Roehampton.

[1] The botanist G. Claridge Druce became a friend[3] and frequent visitor with whom Davy explored the countryside around her home, contributing numerous finds to records of Sussex flora.

She lived in Pyrford from 1909 before moving to West Byfleet in 1922 where she kept "open house" for botanists of different ages and levels of experience.

On a trip to Scotland with Gertrude Bacon, they discovered Carex microglochin, never before found growing in the UK.
