Many of these landscapes cannot be isolated from the énclave as they are integral to and part of its cultural mosaic and character. Perhaps the most important are the Penang Hill hill-station landscape and the ‗Waterfall‘ Botanic Gardens. The latter is an under-valued ‗garden of the empire‘—a garden that significantly underpinned the development and historical and botanical stature of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. This paper reviews the cultural significance of colonial botanic gardens as they were established around the world during the scientific explosion of the late 1800s.

James Veitch and Sons, Together with an Account of The Botanical Collectors and Hybridists Employed by Them and a List of The Most Remarkable of Their Introductions. HORTUS VEITCHII Author: James H. Veitch. by Description: Hortus Veitchii was originally published by the famous nursery firm of James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, London in 1906 to commemorate the huge JAMES H. VEITCH contribution made by this firm to western gardens in the introduction of new plants from around the world. This book is a study of the history of the botanical plant collecting explorers and hybridists, working for the nurseries of James Veitch and Son, Exeter and James Veitch and Sons, Chelsea during the period of 1840-1906. This includes chapters on the following; Lives of Travellers, Lives of Hybridists, Orchid Species, Orchid Hybrids, Stove and Greenhouse Plants, Insectivorous Plants, Exotic Ferns, Coniferous Trees, Trees and Shrubs and Climbing Plants, Herbaceous Plants, Bulbous Plants, Begonias, Hippeastrums, Orchid Hybridization, Nepenthes, Greenhouse Rhododendrons, Streptocarpus, Fruits and Vegetables. About the author: James Herbert Veitch F.L.S., F.R.H.S. was born in 1869 into a family of successful nurserymen. He was the eldest son of John Gould Veitch and like his father was to become a botanist and plant collector for the family nursery firm of James Veitch and Sons, Chelsea.

Title: Ernest Henry Wilson (1876-1930) papers, 1896-2017. Dates: 1896-1952. Creator: Wilson, Ernest Henry, 1876-1930. Quantity: 20 linear feet, 30 boxes Abstract: The Ernest Henry Wilson papers reflect his contribution to horticulture and botany as a plant collector who, through numerous expeditions to China, Korea, and Japan, introduced many new species into cultivation in arboreta, parks, and private gardens. The collection includes his extensive correspondence written between 1899 and 1930 to Arnold Arboretum staff, mainly Charles Sprague Sargent (1841-1927), the Arboretum's first director; copies of his letters to other Arboretum explorers and colleagues such as Joseph Charles Francis Rock (1884-1962), David Fairchild (1869- 1954), Frank Nicholas Meyer (1875-1918) Alfred Rehder (1863-1949), and members of the Veitch Nurseries in England. Other material includes field and plant collection notes, diaries, account books, shipping lists, maps, and manuscripts of both published and unpublished works. There are Chinese and other travel documents, letters of recommendation, certificates and material relating to Wilson's life as a student and his early work as a gardener. There is an extensive collection of clippings from newspapers and copies of articles from botanical and horticultural journals.

Wilson made two collecting trips to China for the Veitch nurseries of England and two trips for the Arnold Arboretum. These were followed by a slightly less arduous Richard A. Howard is Professor of Dendrology of the Arnold Arboretum staff. In 1978 he represented the Arnold Arboretum in the delegation of the Botanical Society of America that visited the People’s Republic of China. After a reciprocal visit by a delegation of Chinese botanists, plans were made for the current Sino-American expedition on which Dr. Stephen Spongberg represents the Arnold Arboretum. Hopefully, this group or a future one can revisit some of the areas in which E. H. Wilson collected. 102 Davidia involucrata, the dove tree, was the object of Wilson’s first trip to China.
