ABOUT THE AUTHOR Charlotte Johnson

He returned to his native country three years ago after living in the South Africa. As a Plant Hunter, he searched vast regions and traveled to remote islands. He holds a B.Sc. degree in Botany and M.Sc. degrees in both Chemistry and in Plant Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts. His career spans 26 years in the chemical industry and related fields. His knowledge and the specimens he brought back befitted Horticulture as well as Indoor Gardeners. He found new species of Chinese evergreens, dracaena, Begonia exotica, Sansevieria of Ceylon and the first white African Violet. His comprehensive illustrated inventories of the world's flora were expensive, though the cost did not seem to discourage aficionados. His trips, the recalled, had their close calls, from unforgiving terrain to tribes who resented his intrusion in New Guinea. He visited the giant lobelias of Mount Kilimanjaro, Azaleas and Rhododendrons of Sikkim and the bamboos of China; where he savored the country's ornamental Horticulture.
