Her best known work remains The Plains of Camdeboo, which she published in 1966.
It is about Cranemere farm where five generations of her family have lived.
The book traces the region's history from "dinosaurs and early hominids to trekkers and sheep farmers", It is also "an account of her life at Cranemere, the Palmer family's vast ranch in a South African desert, and the struggle to tame the land."
Journalist Justin Fox describes the book as "an evocative piece of writing that captures the essence of the Camdeboo."
The book was an almost instant bestseller and remains in print.
Palmer wrote numerous botanical works.
Jeanette Eve has said that Palmer "could write with a novelist's gift for narrative and a poet's gift for lyricism. As a botanist, she could also write with a scientist's gift for accuracy. [Her] recreations of the landscapes of her early home are among the finest in Karoo literature."
Palmer and Jenkins lived in Pretoria for many decades.
