At some risk to his own safety and health (he came close to drowning in the Antarctic Ocean and was imprisoned by the Rajah of Sikkim), he discovered many new species of plants and introduced a number of attractive flowers into British gardens.When Hooker encountered European species growing in the southern hemisphere he naturally wondered how they got there. He shared his theories on plant distribution and other topics of mutual interest with Darwin to whom he also sent scientific data acquired during his travels.He was a competent surveyor who produced the first map of Sikkim which the British Army used for several decades.

Antique Collectors' Club & R.B.G. Kew, Date: 1999. 1st edition. Hard covers, dust jacket. Fine/Fine. Sir Joseph Hooker is well known as Director of Kew Gardens, but his explorations of the Himalayas and the Southern Hemisphere are equally distinguished aspects of his career. A close friend of Charles Darwin, he too derived scientific insights and inspiration from his visits to the exotic island floras of New Zealand, Australia and the Falklands, as well as encountering the very distinctive Cape Flora of South Africa. The exquisitely Colonial tableau of an Indian collector presenting (who looks a bit like Edward Lear) with a Rhododendron - described with superb tact by Ray Desmond as a 'whimsical composition - is shown on the rear end papers; the front shows a route map of his travels on the ships 'Erebus' and 'Terror'. 286, (1) pp. 1999.
