Plants and peoples of Britain and South Asia

Plant Cultures - central aim ... is to convey the richness and complexity of links
between Britain and South Asia, through the story of plants and people
For another lens on this, see - as a topic - the global migration of species under "invasive species".
"Invasive species" are those simply new to an ecosystem - such as cane toads in Australia or Japanese Knotweed in North America.
I live at the approximate center of the Knotweed invasion, and my backyard has 70 or 80 feet tall trees completely enveloped by Knotweed - which is fairly similar to Kudzu and grows about as fast.
There must be some economic use for the stuff.
Anyway....... ( sorry for the derail )
