Seeds of New Zealand gymnosperms and dicotyledons.
“Margaret Bulfin joined Botany Division in
1950, and has contributed to its work in many ways, especially in
research on seeds and germination. The reference collection of
seeds that she has built up is a unique and valuable asset. Over
the years she has also greatly widened the Division’s contacts,
especially among horticulturists in New Zealand and overseas.”
