Biography
Many of her publications are under her maiden name, Helen C. I. Fraser (and of course she wasn't "Dame"d yet). I believe that her husband is David Thomas Gwynne-Vaughan (1871-1915), another botanist.
According to Bessey, she started the practice of calling the powdery mildews Erysiphales. Originally they were called Perisporiales, but the type species of the genus Perisporium turned out not to belong to the order, so she changed the name and (unlike the Helotiales) people followed.
Gwynne-Vaughan was professor of botany at a small British University.
