About the author
Richard C. Tongg (1899– ) is an author about whom relatively little is publicly known, and his nationality, education and professional background are difficult to establish with certainty. What can be confirmed is his connection with writing on Hawaiian plants: one work by him is held in the collection, Hawaiian Flowers. Judging from its title, the book is likely a popular introduction to the flowers and plants of the Hawaiian Islands, possibly combining the functions of an ornamental guide with general natural-history writing for ordinary readers interested in tropical plants and the scenery of Hawaii. Because biographical material is scarce, a full assessment of his writing style and historical influence is not yet possible; further consultation of related documents and archives would be needed to learn more about the details of his life.
