"The Wild Flowers of Tibet" is an album showing the value in resource Science and the characters in distribution and adaptation of Tibetan wild flower plants. The majority of wild flower species was edited according to ecological regions of the Tibet plateau: from the dry and humid alpine barrens to the valleys and gorges of the highland; from the subalpine and temperate forests to the laurisilvae and rain orj monsoon forest in the plateau edge mountains. It's a collection of the authors' 20-year field achievements in Tibet. Instead of keeping them in our bookcase, we hope to share the nice pictures in the Brevity of interpretation with the colleagues of ecoiogy, botany, horticulture, landscape gardening and environment science, as well as other friends who love nature and Tibet.

Xu Feng -Xiang, female, born in 1931, from Dan Yang of Jiangsu Province. Forest and plateau ecologist, professor of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry College of Tibet, the founder and first director of the Plateau Ecology Institute of Tibet and the director of Beijing Lingshan Ecology Institute. In 1955 she graduated from Nanjing Forestry College and then became a teacher at the same college. During 1978~1980, she was sent to Tibet, in order to help its development. From 1981 to 1984, she went to Tibet to make scientific investigations every year. In 1985, she was transferred to work in Tibet.

Now she engages herself in the business of Lingshan Ecological Science and Education Garden in Beijing, in which the landscape and culture of Tibet will be reestablished and introduced to more people. Her works: Tibetan Vegetation of China, 1993, Jiangsu Science and Technology Press; the Study of Forest Ecology on Tibetan Plateau, 1995, Liaoning University Press, and so on.
