Monkey puzzle man
2008
McCarthy, James
"Archibald Menzies was one of a legion of intrepid Scots plant collectors in the 18th and 19th centuries who named the world and, by a combination of toughness and knowledge, established the foundations of the botany of the British Empire. This is the tale of how he brought the monkey puzzle to Britain for the first time and provides an insight to international plant collecting in the 18th century."--Jacket.
