Biography
French marine algologist from Bordeaux who later lived at Roscoff, Finisterre in Brittany. She collected in the Mediterranean, around the Canary Islands (1895-1896) and Barbados (in the winters of 1898-1899 and 1902-1903). She was the author of the posthumously published Phycologia Barbadensis (1908). Original material was deposited at BM (1904), and duplicate algal specimens deposited at K were subsequently transferred to BM (c. 1961) under the terms of the Morton Agreement. Anna Vickers is commemorated by the genus Vickersia Karsakoff.
