Plant Explorer: A Plantsman's travels in North Vietnam

An overview of three collaborative expeditions undertaken to North-West Vietnam focusing on the Hoang Lien Son mountain range. This area is a Plantsman’s paradise with a wealth of plant material, much of which is proving to be hardy when grown outdoors in the UK.  The book highlights the diversity of extraordinary and stunning plants observed during the expeditions and provides a first-hand insight into expedition participation.  Planned in partnership with The Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources (IEBR) in Hanoi with fieldwork support from botanical institutions in the UK, USA & Canada.
