The Botanists of the Singapore Botanic Gardens: The First 100 Years

Science is about pushing knowledge forward; history is about looking backward to understand and assemble elements that came together to contribute to our present status.

To understand the makings of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we take an illuminating tour of its beginnings and scientific journey, and accomplishments crafted by a succession of illustrious botanical personalities over its first century of development.

This book documents their contributions to tropical plant science: natural history, plant classification, economic botany, horticulture and conservation.
