With its numerous beautiful botanical illustrations and informative details of plant morphological features, this book is a remarkable addition to Hong Kong's botanical science collection and flora conservation work. Through this novel approach in integrating botanical knowledge in STEAM education, this book will open the eyes of our citizens, especially the younger generation, and raise their interest and awareness in plants, and contribute to promoting biodiversity conservation in Hong Kong.""-Jenny Y. Y. LAU, Curator of Hong Kong Herbarium, Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department ""To see these beautiful illustrations, the photos and the commentary about the plants that accompany them makes us wish that all of the rich and diverse flora of Hong Kong could be treated similarly.""-David E. Boufford, Senior Research Scientist, Harvard University Herbaria & Editorial Committee Member of Flora of China
