As a cytologist, she published counts of chromosome numbers in species of plants and created a chromosome atlas of various hybrid species along with C.D Darlington. She also made several intergeneric hybrids. Her studies on chromosome numbers and ploidy in many cases threw light on the evolution of species and varieties. She attributed the higher rate of plant speciation in the cold and humid northeast Himalayas as compared to the cold and dry northwest Himalayas to polyploidy.
