Wilson (1876-1930), trained at Kew Gardens, became Harvard’s most famous plant collector in the early decades of the twentieth century, and established his fame through travels in China and his superb photography. In 1920-21 Wilson collected in Australia, where he was astounded by the plants he found and thought them so different to anything in the Northern Hemisphere that it was like collecting in ‘another planet.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilson’s Australian journey was largely undocumented and the extent of his collection unknown until Margaret Grose unravelled his travels, scrawled pencil diary entries, images from the Arnold Arboretum, and the hundreds of plant specimens found in the Harvard Herbaria. In this book, Grose tells a tale of Wilson’s travels across Australia and the plants collected with insight into how the landscapes Wilson saw have since changed. Of note, Wilson appeared free to speak his mind on what he called the ‘arboricidal mania’ of Australia’s appalling treatment of its trees: ‘For God’s sake Stop!’ he said with mounting anger. Margaret Grose’s\u003cem\u003e Plant Collecting in Another Planet\u003c\/em\u003e presents fascinating new insights into the deeper thoughts of one of the world’s great plant collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003eBook details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 978-1-76080-308-7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePUBLICATION DATE: 1 October 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFORMAT: paperback, 1kg, 234x153mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEXTENT: 350 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRIGHTS: World\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCATEGORY:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/non-fiction\" title=\"Non-fiction\"\u003eNon-fiction\u003c\/a\u003e;\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/australian-studies\" title=\"Australian Studies\"\u003eAustralian Studies\u003c\/a\u003e;\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/natural-history\" title=\"Natural History and Botany\"\u003eNatural History and Botany\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRICE: $49.99 AUD incl GST\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWA Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44689162469576,"sku":"","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0542\/4573\/files\/PlantCollectinginAnotherPlanet_COVER.jpg?v=1750914528"}],"url":"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/alan-loney\/natural-history.oembed","provider":"UWA Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
