Item description from seller

pp.xi, 252 with col. & b/w. plates and col. folding map. 8vo. Light spotting to fore-edges of text block and to ends, o/w. a fine hardback in good to vg. dw. George Forrest (1873–1932) was a Scottish botanist, who became one of the first western explorers of China's then remote southwestern province of Yunnan, generally regarded as the most biodiverse province in the country. Altogether, Forrest made seven trips to Yunnan, collecting samples and seeds for the Herbarium and for avid collectors willing to pay for new species to add to their collections. In total, he brought back perhaps 31,000 plant specimens.
