Her job duties include field collection, scientific illustration, botany education, intern training, specimen digitization and scanning electron microscopy imaging. She started working in the herbarium as an intern in 2018 and was astonished by the manuscripts left behind by two top botanical illustrators, Xiao-Lian Zeng and Ping Ma. In 2023, Ping Ma offered training to the team and refined the botanical plates, during which the team learnt advanced observation, analytical and illustration skills from him. She hopes the artisan spirit of the former illustrators will be passed on via this book. **李敏贞（作者及植物绘图师）** 香港中文大学生命科学学院胡秀英植物标本馆 科研统筹员 毕业于香港大学环境管理理学硕士课程。于香港中文大学生命科学学院胡秀英植物标本馆主要负责科学绘图的工作。2023年有幸得到教授级画家马平老师以身教言传的方式学习科学绘图，更感恩马老师不吝赐教并细心修改每一幅植物绘图。期望透过制作本图鉴，让大众认识香港稀有及珍贵植物之余，更希望把前辈们对植物分类及科学绘图的热诚承传下去。 **Man-Ching Li (Author & Botanical Illustrator)** Research Coordinator, Shiu-Ying Hu Herbarium, School of Life Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong Man-Ching Li graduated from the Master’s programme in Environmental Management at the University of Hong Kong.
