THE WOOL ROAD
How Foreign Plants are introduced into Britain by J. Edward Lousdey
President of the Botanical Society of the British Isles

In recent years botanists have made a special study of these plants, and Mr. Lousley describes how they are unravelling the fascinating story of the travels of these alien flowers.
