Since then, more than 2,700 people have collected specimens in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, many of them as part of the groundbreaking work \u003ci\u003eFlora of Tropical East Africa\u003c\/i\u003e. While \u003ci\u003eFlora \u003c\/i\u003efocuses on the plants themselves, the companion volume \u003ci\u003eEast African Plant Collectors \u003c\/i\u003eshines a spotlight on this diverse group of collectors who have worked to record the species of this botanically important region. Profiles include information about the collectors’ careers and interests, their publications, and the areas where their plants were located. The profiles are accompanied by an overarching timeline and historical synopsis, which shows how the profession has changed through the eras.","brand":"Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050867441904,"sku":"9781842463710","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781842463710_p0.jpg?v=1763741873","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781842463710","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
