Sino-British Botanical Expedition to West Yunnan (1981)
St Andrew's University took part in a Sino-British expedition (11 Chinese, 5 British) led jointly by Prof Feng Guomei (of the Kunming Institute of Botany) and Prof R. J. Mitchell, Curator of the Botanic Gardens, St Andrew's. Valuable botanical work was done on both the W and the E slopes of the jagged Cang Shan range (4122m) which may one day become a national park.
