Western China in Autumn

26 Sep

Jeff Wagner

IN JUNE 2018, I had the good fortune to participate in the NARGS expedition to Yunnan with a group of curious and enthusiastic members, led by Panayoti Kelaidis and our Chinese guide-in-chief, Carolyn Gao. This trip was documented in the Quarterly by me and several of my fellow plant hunters.
