Mary Strong Clemens (3 January 1873 – 13 April 1968) was an American botanist and plant collector.[1] A fanatical botanist, she collected plants assiduously throughout her long life, in the remote parts of the Philippines, Borneo, China, New Guinea and Australia.[2] The latter part of her life was spent in Australia, where she died in Brisbane, Queensland.
