‘Chinese’ Wilson. A Life of Ernest H. Wilson 1876-1930.

Roy W. Briggs.

Ernest Wilson first went to China in search of plants in 1899. During his subsequent expeditions in China he collected tens of thousands of specimens and was responsible for the introduction of many now familiar garden plants. This biography makes use of his original journals and photographs as well as previously unpublished family correspondence to recount his dazzling career as a plant hunter.
