About the author (1996)

Dr T.C. Brayshaw worked for many years as curator of botany at the Royal BC Museum, then in his retirement as curator emeritus, when he wrote many of his books on botany, including this one. All of his books feature his precisely rendered botanical drawings. He is now truly retired, though still involved in botanical and conservation matters in Victoria.
