- Summary:
-
The collection consists of signed drawings of netted stinkhorn fungi. Rowan herself described the fungi as: "Growing, they look like dolls dressed up in fluted lace petticoats. Some are apple green, others mauve; one is black, and another has a scarlet cap. They stand high on long white stems, and the fungus closely resembles exquisite lace". The Ellis Rowan Collection in the National Library of Australia consists mostly of paintings of flowers and birds from Australia and New Guinea. Many of the works have been catalogued separately.
