 Beskrivelse:

Plantejagt i Yunnan, Kina. Capt. F. Kingdon Ward er en af de store plantejægere i Kina før 1. Verdenskrig. Fra forordet i bogen lyder det:

For the experiences and scenes described her I have drawn on tree plant hunting excursions before the war (1911, 1913-14) and tree since the war (1919, 1921-22); but more especially on the journey of 1922. To carry out this last expedition I received grants from the Government Grant Committee of the Royal Society, and from the Committee of the Percy Sladen Memorial Fund, wich together covered most of the expenses. The journey so financed was therefore undertaken primarily for scientific purposes. My thanks are due to mi wife for compiling the index. For the benefit of those who are rising my plants, I have indexed all the seed numbers reffered to in the text. F.K.W. London 1924.
