Acer campbellii

---

In the David C. Lam Asian Garden, an Acer campbellii (Campbell maple) is dedicated to the UBC Friends of the Garden in celebration of their 25th anniversary (2001).

Acer campbellii (Sapindaceae) is native to the Himalayas from Nepal east to Yunnan, China. The name commemorates Dr. Archibald Campbell (1805-1874), Superintendent of Darjeeling and Political Agent to Sikkim, who accompanied Joseph Dalton Hooker (Director of Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, 1865 to 1885) through Sikkim in 1849.

Gardening in the Pacific Northwest

Gardening in the Pacific Northwest is an online discussion forum about gardening in the Pacific region of Canada, Alaska and the northwestern continental United States. The forum is a good place for locals to discuss gardening specific to the area and for people from other areas to learn about the region near the location of the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden.
