On a map of the world, using Taiwan (Formosa) as the center and drawing a circle with a radius of about 1500 miles, we cover an area of great geographical interest and botanical wealth. In the east lies the Pacific, the greatest ocean on the earth. In the south spreads the greatest assemblage of islands, lying between Asia and Australia and covering both the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres. In the west is Asiatic continent, the largest land mass. In this circle, varied types of physiography and wide ranges in latitude and climate provide us a rich and interesting vegetation for study. |
