Excerpt from Plantae Wilsonianae, Vol. 1: An Enumeration of the Woody Plants Collected in Western China for the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University During the Years 1907, 1908, and 1910, by E. H. Wilson
It was evident, however, that from no other part of the world could so many new plants suitable to adorn the parks and gardens of temperate climates be found as in western China; and in 1897 I advised the late James H. Veitch, at that time the Managing Director of the well-known nursery firm of James H. Veitch Sons, of London, to send a collector to Hupeh to collect the seeds of Henry's interesting discoveries, and to make additional Observations on the ¿ora of that region.
