Mary Letitia (Green) Sprague (1886–1978) was a British botanist and bibliographer at Kew Gardens.[1][2] In 1938 she married Scottish botanist Thomas Archibald Sprague, the Deputy Keeper of the Kew Herbarium, and together they compiled several supplements to the Index Kewensis.[3] She was an expert on Loranthaceae.[4][5] The standard author abbreviation M.L.Green is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[6]

She revised Arthur Fenton Hort's translation of Linnaeus' Critica Botanica, for an edition published by the Linnean Society of London in 1938, with an Introduction by Arthur William Hill.[7]
