无声的草木 绽放最好的香港「胡秀英植物标本馆」四代植物学家 翻山越岭、精剖细描为香港原生植物留下永恒的传记胡秀英植物标本馆致力于基础植物学的教研工作，透过野外调查、植物标本制作，对香港原生植物进行详尽记录，并以糅合科学与艺术的墨线图，将研究成果结集成书，向大众分享植物分类学和植物科学绘图的知识。《香港原生植物图鉴》第三册延续前两册的科学绘图传统，本图鉴聚焦的20种香港稀有及濒危植物，包括香港特有种香港细辛和6种香港原生兰花等。每种植物包括文献回顾、植物凭证标本、细致的墨线图和植物结构的图解描述等。本图鉴新增了植物彩色绘图及植物颜色识别与测量方法，运用RHS色卡与分光光度计，将植物颜色转化为最接近的RHS色卡编号及相应的Hex色码，为植物鉴定提供崭新视角，并期望可为香港原生植物的科学资讯补上缺失一环。Committed to education and research in basic botany, the Shiu-ying Hu Herbarium documents Hong Kong’s native plants in comprehensive detail through field surveys and plant specimen preparation. Integrating science and art into beautiful line drawings, this book compiles their extensive research findings to share the knowledge of plant taxonomy and botanical illustration with the general public.Botanical Illustrated Guide to Hong Kong Native Plants (Volume III) continues the tradition of scientific illustration of the previous two volumes, focusing on 20 rare and endangered plants in Hong Kong, including the endemic species of Asarum hongkongense S. M. Hwang & T. P. Wong Siu and 6 species of native orchids. Each plant species is presented with a literature review, voucher plant specimens, detailed line drawings, and annotations.This illustrated book newly incorporates botanical illustrations in colour and methods for identifying, measuring, and recording plant colours. By employing the RHS Colour Chart and a spectrophotometer to convert plant colours into the closest corresponding RHS colour codes and Hex colour codes, this approach provides a new perspective for plant identification and intends to fill a missing piece in the scientific understanding of native plants in Hong Kong.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------《香港原生植物图鉴》第三册不仅为研究人员与专业学者提供可靠而详尽的参考资料，更引导读者以科学视角重新认识与欣赏香港原生植物的多样性及其生物学意义，进一步彰显胡秀英植物标本馆在植物标本典藏、分类学研究及科学教育领域的重要贡献。本人深信此书必将成为香港植物学研究与教育领域中，一部具有长远价值的权威著作。——陈浩然香港中文大学生命科学学院院长With meticulous attention to detail, this third volume not only offers precise morphological descriptions and microscopic imagery of pollen and pollinarium, but also beautifully rendered, colour-accurate floral illustrations calibrated to the standard colour chart with corresponding Hex codes for scientific and artistic reference. The true hues of Hong Kong’s rare and endangered flora are precisely preserved, which definitely enhances both scientific accuracy and public appreciation.——I. LUKCurator of Hong Kong HerbariumAgriculture, Fisheries and Conservation DepartmentMost residents of Hong Kong will never encounter these rare plants in the wild. However, through botanical illustrations, photographs, and detailed descriptions—created from voucher plant specimens at peak bloom—readers can gain a deeper appreciation and understanding than would often be possible from a chance encounter in nature. Overall, this series of books clearly demonstrates the mission of the Shiu-Ying Hu Herbarium, School of Life Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, in advancing basic scientific research, maintaining botanical archives, and promoting knowledge transfer.——David E. BouffordSenior Research Scientist, Harvard University HerbariaEditorial Committee Member of Flora of China每一种植物物种，都有未被其他绘图人员观察到，或植物分类学家无法用学术专有名词清晰描述的细节，而这些细节在本图鉴中都得到了模式化的解释。此种形式，完全做到了面向大众，让普通读者也能了解自然奥祕、关心环境的变化 —— 这也是胡秀英教授寄予的期望。——马平资深植物绘图师、《嘉卉：百年中国植物科学画》主编
