There is a load of info on Rock's botanical ventures at the Arnold Arboretum Harvard https://www.arboretum.harvard.edu/library/image-collection/botanical-and-cultural-images-of-eastern-asia/joseph-charles-francis-rock/ and in journals such as this: http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/JARS/v58n2/v58n2-palmer.htmmutikonkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013127024190330396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9406385.post-13629098982238305332017-02-11T13:15:10.278+11:002017-02-11T13:15:10.278+11:00Hi Michael, Great stuff...especially as I am resea...Hi Michael, Great stuff...especially as I am researching for a Discovery Channel shoot on alpine plants in Yunnan province. I am intrigued with Joseph Rock and it would be nice to incorporate more than a passing reference to him in our show. If there is any advice you can give me with resources to check out or places to visit in Yunnan I would really appreciate it. I am heading back there shortly. Cheers from across the ditch.
