Susan Fereday (néeApthorpe) (1815, Leicestershire, England – 21 October 1878, Sale, Victoria, Australia)[1] was an algologist, botanical illustrator, artist and Sunday school teacher who made scientifically significant collections of botany specimens in Tasmania, Australia.[2] She was also a talented artist known for her accurate paintings of the local flora of Tasmania.[3]
Fereday was born Susan Georgina Marianne Apthorpe in Leicestershire, England in 1815. She married in 1837 and emigrated with her husband to Australia aboard the Aden in 1846.[4] Fereday lived in "The Grove" in George Town, Tasmania and used the local flora as inspiration for her paintings.[3] Fereday exhibited her art at the Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition of 1866-1867.[4]
Nemastoma feredayae by William Henry Harvey
Fereday was also a keen collector of algae specimens and established a scientifically significant collection. William Henry Harvey named two species after Fereday to honour her contribution to the study of algae, Dasya feredayae and Nemastoma feredayae.[5][3]
Fereday Place in the Canberra suburb of Conder is named in her honour.[6]
