Homoclimes within the British Commonwealth

Abstract

The Second World War witnessed, and to a certain extent was the cause of, increased number of plant introductions. This was especially so in the case of America where numerous new plants were introduced in an attempt to overconie war-time shortage of various plant products. But it is in the necessity for the fuller utilization of under-developed and undeveloped agricultural areas of the world hi the face of rapidly increasing population that plant introduction assumes its greatest importance.
