Antique Collectors' Club, 1999. 286, col + b/w illus, endpaper maps. . HB. From the library of Prof. J. Green, (1928-2016), Professor of Zoology at Queen Mary College, University of London with his name to endpaper. Vg in d/w (spine a little faded).. Sir Joseph Hooker is remembered as an eminent Victorian botanist and one of Charles Darwin's closest collaborators. Many gardeners and lovers of rhododendrons know of his plant collecting expedition in the Himalayas, but few are aware of his participation in Sir James Clark Ross' epic voyage to Antarctica in 1839-43, of his visits to Syria and Lebanon in 1860, to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco in 1871, and to the Rockies and California in 1877. At some risk to his own safety and health (he came close to drowning in the Antarctic Ocean and was imprisoned by the Rajah of Sikkim), he discovered many new species of plants and introduced a number of attractive flowers into British gardens.When Hooker encountered European species growing in the…

Description:
Antique Collectors' Club & R.B.G. Kew, 1999. 1st edition. Hard covers, dust jacket. Fine/Fine. Sir Joseph Hooker is well known as Director of Kew Gardens, but his explorations of the Himalayas and the Southern Hemisphere are equally distinguished aspects of his career. A close friend of Charles Darwin, he too derived scientific insights and inspiration from his visits to the exotic island floras of New Zealand, Australia and the Falklands, as well as encountering the very distinctive Cape Flora of South Africa. The exquisitely Colonial tableau of an Indian collector presenting (who looks a bit like Edward Lear) with a Rhododendron - described with superb tact by Ray Desmond as a 'whimsical composition - is shown on the rear end papers; the front shows a route map of his travels on the ships 'Erebus' and 'Terror'. 286, (1) pp.
