[3] She has published more than 100 works, after more than 30 years devoted to botany, and has trained several researchers such as, for example, Gonzalo Nieto Feliner, Modesto Luceño, Luis Balaguer or Inés Álvarez Fernández.

In addition, she has directed the doctoral thesis of Ildefonso Barrera, Carmen Monge, Alejandro Romero and Carlos Martín Blanco.

In addition, she has been a consultant for the volumes VII, X, XIV and XXI of Flora Iberica,[4] a project that, until his death, addressed her great friend Santiago Castroviejo.

Her interest and work with herbalists led her to be a founding member of the "Association of Ibero-Macaronesian Herbaria" (AHIM), with many other researchers, such as María Dalila Espírito Santo, from Lisbon, Luis Villar, from Huesca, and Mauricio Velayos, from Madrid.

[5][6] In 2013, the annual volume of the scientific journal Botánica Complutense was dedicated to her, with a prologue written by his friend Mauricio Velayos.
