Notes written after Yu's time at RBGE ; Chinese botanist Te-Tsun Yu's [T.T. Yu's] career was significant and in recognition that our records of his time at RBGE are limited, RBGE horticulturist Edward Kemp contributed to our records by producing an account of his time spent with Yu alongside a summary of his career. To this is added an assessment of the Yu herbarium written by Jimmy Keenan in the 1960s(?)

Notes on Professor T.T. Yu, a Chinese Botanist, provided by Edward E. Kemp, 13 Nov 1999

3 sides of foolscap with a brief summary entitled 'Professor Hu's 1937-40 Expeditions as they affect RBG Edinburgh' which provides a background to the Yu, Wang and Liu specimens held in the RBGE Herbarium.
