Kathleen Annie Lansdell

Kathleen Annie Lansdell (1888 Durban - 3 April 1967 Pietermaritzburg), was a South African botanical artist.

She took up an appointment at the Natal Herbarium, located in the grounds of the Durban Botanic Gardens, in about 1915, succeeding Millicent Franks who left in November 1914.

She became involved in preparing the illustrations for volume 7 of John Medley Wood's Natal Plants, a volume which remained incomplete and unpublished because of his death in August 1915.

Some of the plates were in water colour and still hang in the Natal Herbarium.

After 1917 most of her time was spent at the Division of Botany and Plant Pathology in Pretoria, and her work there was a large part of the inspiration for the publication of Flowering Plants of South Africa.
