Abstract
DR. GEORGE TAYLOR joined Frank Ludlow and George Sherriff in 1938 for an expedition to southeastern Tibet, and an account of the journey has recently appeared (J. Roy. Hort. Soc, 72, Pts. 4 and 5, April and May 1947), with illustrations (several in colour) of some of the plants of significant horticultural beauty brought to Great Britain. Part of the collection is still unidentified; but the account seeks rather to portray those species which might attract British gardeners. The genus Meconopsis is perhaps most strongly represented, followed closely by Gentiana, but many other genera are mentioned. Mr. F. Kingdon Ward has also a recent short paper on his war-time explorations in Manipur (J. Boy. Hort. Soc., 73, Pt. 2, Feb. 1948). He noted many interesting plants and confirmed several earlier records by Watts and Clarke.
