Mary Wyatt (1789–1871)[1][2] was a British botanist, phycologist and retailer from Torquay, Devon.[1][3][4] She was the compiler of the respected Algae Danmonienses - a collection, i.e. exsiccata, of seaweeds[5][6] to which William Henry Harvey later considered his Manual of the British Algae (1841) a 'companion' work.[7] Wyatt helped to fuel the Victorian 'seaweed craze' for collecting.[2][8] The tongue twister 'She Sells Seashells on the Sea Shore' was possibly inspired by Wyatt and her close companion Amelia Griffiths, with whom she collected seaweed and sea shells in Devon.[9]
