From China To Hkamti Long.

An English botanist, plant collector, nurseryman and explorer, Francis Kingdon Ward (1885-1958) published most of his books as Francis Kingdon-Ward, adopting the name for his wives and daughters. In the 1930s he went on to spy for the British India Office, and was arrested in Tibet in 1935 after he crossed the Sela pass into the Tawang tract, despite having been refused permission to do so by the Tibetan authorities.

Hkamti Long was a Shan state in what is now Myanmar (Burma), the name means 'Great Place of Gold'.
