Her best known publication, North American Wild Flowers , comprises five volumes with over 400 watercolors and is considered a milestone in botanical illustration. In addition to her artistic work, Walcott was a pioneer in the scientific study of wilderness. She was one of the first women to study and document glaciers in the Rocky Mountains in the early 1900s.
