Biography
Tem Smitinand was a Thai botanist with the Royal Forest Department of Thailand. In collaboration with Danish botanists, he worked on the Flora of Thailand project in the mid-20th century, especially dealing with orchids.
Smitinand worked closely with Gunnar Seidenfaden and together they amassed some 15,000 plant specimens on expeditions in Thailand, and jointly published The Orchids of Thailand, a Preliminary List between 1959 and 1965. As well as carrying out his own fieldwork, Smitinand organised a group of 12 other Thai collectors to explore various parts of Thailand. One of his major solo publications was the book Thai Plant Names (2001), bringing together vernacular and scientific names for the country's plants.
