Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Letters of Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker, Vol. 2 The practical interests of Economic Botany constantly reappear in the correspondence of the sixties: such as reports on the Indian tea plantations (1868), the despatch of young tea plants and seeds to Jamaica (1863), an interest which led him to accept the dedication of a work on Tea by Mr. James Mac-Pherson, to whom he writes (November 2, 1870): Such a book is very much wanted indeed, and will prove a great stimulus to the introduction of the Tea plant into many parts of the world to which we have sent the plant from Kew, and from whence I have enquiries for such a work. Further appear the introduction of Ipecacuanha and Mahogany from seed raised at Kew (1866 and 1867) to India, and the boyishly cheerful note to Dr. Anderson in the latter year: I am so jolly glad to have been the means of introducing Papyrus into India; I really am proud of that.
