J. F. Rock wrote his phytogeography
as an abstract of his botanical
explorations in China in 1952 for
the Royal Horticultural Society
but because of circumstances
beyond his control it remained
unpublished. It gives a survey of the
vegetation of the areas that Rock
visited himself, especially Yunnan
and Qinghai and is enhanced
by the inclusion of the author’s
experiences and views. Joseph Francis Rock (1884–1962)
was born in Vienna, and during his residence in Hawaii he
earned for himself the reputation as the second father of
Hawaiian botany. He lived for more than twenty years, until
1948, in the Chinese province of Yunnan where besides
botanical exploration mainly for Harvard University and
the US. National Museum, research on the rituals and
pictographic manuscripts of the Naxi people were his main
occupation. The present work is based on the typecscipt
in the Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh and includes
many plates from Rock’s own photographs. Rock’s original
captions were added to the plates.
