| Abstract: |
| From the first time he travelled to China in 1904 until his untimely death in Yunnan in 1932,George Forrest made a total of seven trips plant hunting in the mountains of China. He collected large numbers of hitherto unknown species,in living and herbarium specimens,for introduction to the western world. His collections included more than 400 Rhododendrons new to the science of the day. Even now,after all the advances in taxonomy,over 150 of those named species are accepted,which must rank him among the most important plant collectors the world has ever seen. |
