书籍简介

这套来自邱园的独特袖珍画册系列，带您领略植物和真菌丰富多彩的美丽世界。每册画册都精心挑选不同植物类群或收藏中的代表性样本，并以精美的插图呈现。

本书揭示了中国植物的丰富多样性，从日常主食稻米和茶叶，到具有神圣象征意义的莲花和牡丹，无所不包。千百年来，植物在中国文化中扮演着重要的角色，拥有悠久的历史和深厚的象征意义。即使是像“发财树”这样看似普通的室内植物，其圆润的叶片形似铜钱，也与众多传说联系在一起，并在风水中用于招财纳福。

邱园专家亚历克斯·萨默斯撰写的导言章节概述了这一植物类群，每幅插图都配有详尽的说明文字。

本书采用无涂层纸印刷，并以布面烫金工艺打造奢华质感，是馈赠亲友的理想之选。

This unique series of pocketbooks from Kew offers a snapshot into the diverse and beautiful world of plants and fungi. Each book lavishly showcases choice examples from different groups or collections.

This book uncovers the broad variety of China’s plants, from the everyday staples of rice and tea to the sacred significance of lotus and peony flowers. For millennia, plants have played an important role in Chinese culture, with rich histories and symbolic weight. Even a humble houseplant like the lucky ‘money plant’, with round leaves resembling coins, is attached to multiple legends and utilised in Feng Shui to attract prosperity and abundance.

An introductory chapter by Kew expert Alex Summers provides an overview of this plant group, and extended captions accompany each painting.

A must-have gift item printed on uncoated paper and with a cloth and foil luxury finish.
