Autores ResumoAbstract Roy Lancaster is a fully paid-up member of that exclusive club of Himalayan plant-collectors who have braved mountain sickness, swollen rivers and dangerous bridges, landslips and leeches in their near-obsessive calling. His most funous exemplars wrote evocatively about their experiences. Thus A Plantsman in Nepal joins Frank Kingdon Ward's Land of Blue Poppy and Plant Hunting on the Edge of the World (respectively 1913 and 1930), E. H. ‘Chinese’ Wilson's A Naturalist in Western China (1913) and Reginald Farrer's Rainbow Bridge (1921) as a classic of the genre.
