Remarks [collector note: LL, MO, US; Chr. Davidson & J. Jones] "Chris Davidson and Sharon Christoph (wife) have been on an epic scientific quest to photograph and document every flowering plant journey on earth. It’s a journey that has taken them to 45 countries, and from the deserts of Namibia to the mountainous, temperate forests of Yunnan. Along the way, they’ve collected plant samples for dozens of herbaria and documented numerous undescribed species. And they’ve taken digital photographs: Currently more than 195,000 images of flowering plants are featured on their web site, Flora of the World." (vide Matthew L. Miller)
