Stones was born in August 1920 in Colac, Victoria, Australia. In 1957 she was commissioned to prepare a set of floral designs for Australian postage stamps.[1] Stones worked closely with Winifred Curtis between 1967 and 1978 in providing the illustrations for The Endemic Flora of Tasmania. In 1976, Stones was commissioned to create a series of six watercolors as part of Louisiana State University's celebration of the American bicentennial.[3] The project's scope was soon expanded, and over the next fourteen years, Stones and a team of LSU botanists traveled throughout the state gathering plant specimens. She eventually completed more than 200 drawings, which were published by the LSU Press in 1991 as Flora of Louisiana. The original drawings, as well as selected working drawings, are now held in the LSU Libraries Special Collections in Hill Memorial Library.[4] She was awarded a silver Veitch Memorial Medal in 1976 and a gold Veitch Memorial Medal in 1985 by the Royal Horticultural Society.[5] Stones has two genera named after her, Stonesia and Stonesiella.[6] Stones died in December 2018 at the age of 98.[7] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.asap.unimelb.edu.au/bsparcs/biogs/P004310b.htm|title=Stones, Elsie Margaret (Margaret) (1920 - )|work=Bright Sparcs|accessdate=2009-10-08}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.anbg.gov.au/biography/stones-margaret.html|title=Stones, Elsie Margaret (1920-)|work=Australian National Herbarium|date=13 November 2007|accessdate=2009-10-08}} 3. ^Native Flora of Louisiana: Watercolor Drawings by Margaret Stones, Louisiana Digital Library, Baton Rouge, La. 4. ^"Native Flora of Louisiana: Watercolor Drawings by Margaret Stones," LSU Libraries Special Collections website. 5. ^{{cite web|url= https://www.rhs.org.uk/about-the-rhs/pdfs/about-the-rhs/our-structure/green-manual-2014-(correct-as-at-25-march-2013)|title= RHS Green Manual|publisher= RHS|accessdate= 23 December 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.womenaustralia.info/biogs/IMP0295b.htm|title=Stones, Elsie (Margaret) (1920 - )|work=The Australian Women's Register|date=25 November 2002|author=Morgan, H.|accessdate=2009-10-08}} 7. ^Margaret (Elsie) Stones death notice Further reading
