Guide to the Flowers of Western China - Hardcover
by Christopher Grey-Wilson (Author), Phillip Cribb (Author)
A completely revised and updated second edition of the essential field guide and reference work.
Since the publication of the first edition of Guide to the Flowers of Western China in 2011, there have been great strides in knowledge of the flora of China through international collaboration. Many plants included in the first edition have been revisited in the wild, while areas hitherto inaccessible have opened up, if sometimes only temporarily. Great advances in systematic botany have occurred since the publication of the first edition, particularly with the widespread availability of rapid DNA analysis. The result of this has been an influx of new photographs and data, and the need for a second edition of Guide to the Flowers of Western China.Christopher Grey-Wilson was a botanist at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew for twenty-two years. He has edited Curtis's Botanical Magazine, The Plantsman, and The Alpine Gardener. Phillip Cribb is a leading specialist in the taxonomy and conservation of orchids.
