無聲的草木綻放最好的香港

「胡秀英植物標本館」四代植物學家翻山越嶺、精剖細描
為香港原生植物留下永恆的傳記

20個珍貴而稀有的名字，在遺憾失去它們前

認識它們越深，越能與它們共生

這些原生植物得以在香港這片土地上繁衍下去，不致滅絕

本書為《香港原生植物圖鑑》的第二冊。延續第一冊結合科學繪圖和植物藝術墨線圖的方式，詳細介紹了香港20種稀有及瀕危的原生植物。這些植物受到法例和名錄的保護，並在香港生態系統中扮演著重要角色。

標本館運用多種研究方法，包括文獻回顧、野外觀察、花果解剖結構研究和墨線圖等，去記錄每個珍貴的植物品種，豐富香港稀有及瀕危植物的基礎科學資訊，促進植物保育工作的進展。本冊更新增「掃描電子顯微鏡圖像」單元，把猶如萬花筒般的花粉和孢子的微物之美，清晰地呈現在讀者眼前。

This appealingly illustrated book is the second volume of Botanical Illustrated Guide to Hong Kong Native Plants. It presents a meticulously curated collection of 20 rare and endangered native plant species found in Hong Kong, featuring scientific, detailed pen-and-ink illustrations and morphological descriptions. This volume introduces a new section showcasing ‘Scanning Electron Microscope Images’ that reveals the intricate beauty of pollen and spores.

This guide provides essential reference materials for species authentication and is of particular significance for plant preservation efforts in Hong Kong.

With numerous well-drawn and precise botanical line drawings detailing plant morphological features, this second volume of botanical illustrated guide is not only a remarkable reference for botanical researchers, but also an interesting guide for plant lovers. Of particular interest are the microscopic scanning images of pollen and pollinarium of some species, providing a novel perspective to learn about and appreciate these rare and endangered plants of Hong Kong.

科學研究是根，科普教育為本。此圖鑑穩固掌握這兩條纏繞的線，同而不同、不同又相依的脈絡。作者的立意別具用心，以原生植物為主題，既是一個本地專題的研究，也能在進行科普教育時更讓人有親切感。此外，繪圖師精準而細緻地描繪了物種的鑒別特徵，使其與其他植物誌類型著作有所區別，這對於教學非常有益。圖版中使用文字標示各個器官的學術名詞，進一步幫助讀者清晰地理解該物種的基本特徵。本書科研、科普教育為一體，以獨具匠心的方式面向讀者，確實值得讚賞。

After graduating as an Environmental Science major at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hiu-Yan Wong is now working at the Shiu-Ying Hu Herbarium, School of Life Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her job duties include field collection, scientific illustration, botany education, intern training, specimen digitization and scanning electron microscopy imaging. She started working in the herbarium as an intern in 2018 and was astonished by the manuscripts left behind by two top botanical illustrators, Xiao-Lian Zeng and Ping Ma. In 2023, Ping Ma offered training to the team and refined the botanical plates, during which the team learnt advanced observation, analytical and illustration skills from him. She hopes the artisan spirit of the former illustrators will be passed on via this book.
