Born: 1852, Amsterdam, Holland. Died: 1942, Eerbeek, Gld, Holland.

career:

Married young, was shortly after widowed, and then started her botanical studies at Amsterdam University. She married Prof. M. Weber and accompanied him to the Dutch East Indies in 1888/89. During their stay in Java (July-Sept. 1888), she for some weeks studied a parasitic Alga of Tjibodas.¹ She visited Lapland, and also South Africa (1894-95), and was a member of the Siboga Expedition. In 1910 she was awarded the honorary Dr’s degree of Utrecht University.

She wrote numerous phycological papers; for her merits Queen Wilhelmina made her a knight of Orange-Nassau.

The last years of her husband’s life she assisted him in his work.
