「胡秀英植物標本館」四代植物學家 翻山越嶺、精剖細描
為香港原生植物留下永恆的傳記
胡秀英植物標本館致力於基礎植物學的教研工作，透過野外調查、植物標本製作，對香港原生植物進行詳盡記錄，並以糅合科學與藝術的墨線圖，將研究成果結集成書，向大眾分享植物分類學和植物科學繪圖的知識。
《香港原生植物圖鑑》第三冊延續前兩冊的科學繪圖傳統，本圖鑑聚焦的20種香港稀有及瀕危植物，包括香港特有種香港細辛和6種香港原生蘭花等。每種植物包括文獻回顧、植物憑證標本、細緻的墨線圖和植物結構的圖解描述等。
本圖鑑新增了植物彩色繪圖及植物顏色識別與測量方法，運用RHS色卡與分光光度計，將植物顏色轉化為最接近的RHS色卡編號及相應的Hex色碼，為植物鑑定提供嶄新視角，並期望可為香港原生植物的科學資訊補上缺失一環。
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.
