George Maw dedicated his book Monograph of the genus Crocus (London, 1886) to Mr and Mrs Charles Danford, whose journeys he states "throughout the length and breadth of Asia Minor in the years 1876, 1878 and 1879, added much to the knowledge of Crocuses in that district. Many of the Vignettes appearing in the present book have been engraved from original sketches made by Mr Danford in the remote mountain region of the Taurus and other parts of Asia Minor, and to Mrs Danford I am indebted for the roots of several new species of Crocus discovered by her, and also for much valuable information respecting the habitats of Crocuses throughout Asia Minor." Crocus Danfordiae is illustrated on plate 63 and was discovered by Mrs Danford in 1879.
