Book excerpt: Excerpt from Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew;, Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information: Flora of Kwangtung and Hongkond (China), Being an Account of the Flowering Plants, Ferns and Fern Allies Together With Keys for Their Determination Preceded by a Map and Introduction Position and size of area. - Kwangtung is the southernmost pro vince of China and occupies the whole of the southern coast line of the empire. Bounding it upon the north are the maritime province of F okien and the inland ones of Kiangsi and Hunan, while Kwangsi lies immediately to the west. At its south-west corner it touches for a few miles the French indo-chinese colony of Tongking. Its length amounts to 600 miles lying nearly east and west, but it nowhere recedes more than 250 miles from the open sea. Its area, about square miles, is rather less than that of Great Britain. Some 300 small islands lie off the coast, among which is Hongkong. Climate - The province is more than half within the tropics and is characterised for the_ greater part of the year by hot damp weather, during which periods of strong sunshine alternate with downpours of warm torrential rain amounting to some 70 inches in all. The south-west monsoon, in which these conditions prevail, breaks upon the coast rather suddenly about April and continues to blow with more or less regularity for six or seven months, gradually failing in October or November, to give place to the winter monsoon from the opposite point of the compass. The long succession of rainstorms and the usually cloud-laden sky are then succeeded as a rule by several months of cool weather accompanied by clear pale blue skies and a complete absence of rain. The smaller streams gradually dry up and the grass hills assume their winter colouring of pale brown. Though the winters are pleasantly cool, frosts are of very rare occurrence, except on the highest ground. Even there they are infrequent and of short duration. The succession of extremes of wet and dry weather naturally exerts a profound influence on the vegetation, but quite as important in this respect are doubtless the periodical visits of typhoons to which the coastal regions are liable at all times, but especially during the late summer. These brief but extraordinarily violent storms play great havoc with all kinds of vegetation and their occurrence explains some of the peculiar characters of the flora of the coast of Kwangtung.

Through this novel approach in integrating botanical knowledge in STEAM education, this book will open the eyes of our citizens, especially the younger generation, and raise their interest and awareness in plants, and contribute to promoting biodiversity conservation in Hong Kong. Jenny Y. Y. LAU Curator of Hong Kong Herbarium, Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department To see these beautiful illustrations, the photos and the commentary about the plants that accompany them makes us wish that all of the rich and diverse flora of Hong Kong could be treated similarly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flora Hongkongensis: A Description of the Flowering Plants and Ferns of the Island of Hongkong The little island of Hongkong is situated off the southern coast of China, at the mouth of the Canton river, between lat. 22° 9' and 22° 21' N. It consists of a rugged mountain ridge, running from east to west, broken into three or four peaks attaining an elevation of between 1700 and 1800 feet above the level of the sea, and intersected by deep narrow ravines. It is of very irregular outline, cut into deep inlets, especially on the south coast, where the hills occasionally slope down to a broad sandy beach, whilst several of the headlands terminate in perpendicular cliffs. Its greatest length is about eight miles, by a breadth of little more than four, and has an area of rather more than twenty-nine square miles. It is separated from the opposite hilly, and in some places more elevated, mainland by a strait, variously called Cap-Syng-Moon, or Cum-Sing-Moon, which in its narrowest part (the Lye-Moon pass) is only half a mile in breadth, and, opposite to our newly acquired district of Kowloon, expands into a capacious harbour. What we know of its physical condition and climate as affecting its Flora, is chiefly derived from the "Remarks on the physical aspect and vegetation of Hongkong," published by the late Mr. R. B. Hinds, in Hooker's 'London Journal of Botany,' vol. i. p. 476 (1842), and from Dr. B. Seemann's 'Introduction to the Flora of Hongkong,' in his Botany of the Voyage of H.M.S. Herald (1857). Both these writers represent its general aspect, especially when viewed from the south-east during the dry or winter season, as barren and bleak in the extreme, and apparently denuded of anything like arborescent vegetation.
