罗伯特.福琼（Robert Fortune）
他从中国带走大量园艺植物品种，其中云锦杜鹃成为英国后来培育杂种杜鹃的重要亲本，但这个人并不只是作为一个植物猎人(plant hunter)而为后人铭记，他从中国偷走了茶树种子和制茶技术，让印度，斯里兰卡成为茶叶生产大国，让茶叶成为世界性饮料，也彻底改变了中国当时的经济地位,所以后人把他成为改变世界的超级盗贼-茶叶盗贼(The Tea Thief)。
罗伯特.福琼（Robert Fortune）由英国皇家园艺协会派遣，在1839 －1860年中曾四次来华调查及引种。协会命他引种野生或栽培的观赏植物及经济植物的种子，收集花园、农业和气象情报资料，并特别要他收集北京故宫御花园中桃的栽培品种、不同品质的茶叶、在香港的灯笼花生长环境，调查有无黄色重瓣月季、黄色山茶及蓝色芍药等，收集荷花的变种。佛手。金柑、食用百合及做宣纸的原料植物，分析植被生长茂密处自然土壤的理化性质及适合山茶。杜鹃、菊花。灯笼花等植物生长的栽培土壤理化性质。福琼从中国引走了秋牡丹、桔梗、金钟花、构骨、石岩杜鹃、柏木、阔叶xx功劳、榆叶梅、榕树、搜疏、12－13种牡丹栽培品种、二种小菊变种和云锦杜鹃。二种小菊变种后来成为英国杂种满天星菊花的亲本。云锦杜鹃在英国近代杂种杜鹃中起了重要作用。在1851年2月他通过海运，运走2000株茶树小苗，1．7万粒茶树发芽种 子，同时带走6名中国制茶专家到印度的加尔各答，导致目前印度及斯里兰卡茶叶生产兴旺发达。他将其在中国的经历写了四本书：《漫游华北三年》、《在茶叶的故乡——中国的旅游》、《层住在中国人之间》、《益都和北京》。
茶于公元1606年传到欧洲，中国的神奇饮料—茶传入欧洲，饮茶成为风气。那时欧洲人尚不知红茶和绿茶源于相同茶种。福琼发现，两者其实出于同一茶种，只是加工方式不同。这一说法在英国引起争论。对茶的喜好，使得茶成为中国重要的贸易商品。由于中国垄断了茶的生产供应，巨大的需求使得欧洲国家难于提供对应的商品来平衡贸易。向中国输出xx又遭到中国的xx。xx战争也改变不了对中国茶叶的依赖。同时中国严守茶的种植和加工秘密，垄断茶叶贸易。中国政府禁止透露茶叶种植和加工的秘密。为了xx茶的秘密，东印度公司的派遣拥有植物学知识和中国经验的罗伯特·福琼前往中国秘密xx茶树种子和搜罗制茶专家。福琼隐藏xx茶树种子的目的，雇佣中国人，并将自己化装成中国人深入到中国官府禁止外国人进入的地区。福琼在多个产茶区，运用各种手段，获取茶树种子和栽培技术，将茶树种子经上海转运印度。在喜马拉雅山麓西边栽种茶树，稍后在东印度公司的催促下搜罗制茶专家前往制作茶叶。
福琼在偷盗制茶技术的过程进行了认真的植物学研究，发明和完善了长途运输植物的技术，写下了几本重要的书籍。人们将福琼将当作英国植物学家，而实际上福琼更是一个成功的超级盗贼。福琼的活动导致了中国制茶行业的衰退，使中国最重要出口产品的贸易大幅度下降，严重打击了中国经济，改变了中国在世界经济中的地位。福琼是影响中国近代史的一个重要人物。中国人很长时间都不知道福琼的重要作用。他的作用比成千上万的xx起的作用更大。
Robert Fortune.Robert Fortune (16 September 1812 – 13 April 1880) was a Scottish botanist and traveller best known for introducing tea plants from China to India.
Travels and botanical introductions to Europe
Fortune was born in Kelloe, Berwickshire. He was employed in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, and later in the Horticultural Society of London's garden at Chiswick, and following the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842 was sent out by the Society to collect plants in China.
His travels resulted in the introduction to Europe of many new, exotic and beautiful flowers. His most famous accomplishment was successfully transportation of tea from China to India in 1848 on behalf of the British East India Company.
Similar to other European travellers of the period, such as Walter Medhurst, Fortune disguised himself as a Chinese merchant during several, but not all, of his journeys beyond the newly established treaty port areas. Not only was Fortune's purchase of tea plants forbidden by the Chinese government of the time, but his travels were also beyond the allowable day's journey from the European treaty ports. Fortune travelled to some areas of China that had seldom been visited by Europeans, including remote areas of Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangsu provinces.
Fortune employed many different means to transport tea plants, seedlings, and other botanical discoveries, but he is most well known for his use of Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward's portable Wardian cases to sustain the plants. Using these small greenhouses, Fortune introduced 20,000 tea plants and seedlings to the Darjeeling region of India. He also brought with him a group of trained Chinese tea workers who would facilitate the production of tea leaves. With the exception of a few plants which survived in established Indian gardens, most of Chinese tea plants Fortune introduced to India perished. The technology and knowledge that was brought over from China, however, may have been instrumental in the later flourishing of the Indian tea industry.[1]
Apart from his many contributions to botanical history, Fortune was the first European to discover that so-called black tea and green tea were actually from the same plant.
In subsequent journeys he visited Formosa (modern day Taiwan)and Japan, and described the culture of the silkworm and the manufacture of rice. He introduced many trees, shrubs and flowers to the West, including the cumquat, a climbing double yellow rose ('Fortune's Double Yellow' (syn. Gold of Ophir) which proved a failure in England's climate) and many varieties of tree peonies, azaleas and chrysanthemums. A climbing white rose that he brought back from China in 1850, believed to be a natural cross between Rosa laevigata and R. banksiae, was dubbed R. fortuniana (syn. R. fortuneana) in his honor. This rose, too, proved a failure in England, though it serves as a valuable rootstock in Australia and the southern regions of the United States.
The incidents of his travels were related in a succession of books. He died in London in 1880.
The standard author abbreviation Fortune is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.[2]

Barnaby Miln, a descendant of Robert Fortune, prepared this list in 1997 with a great deal of help from the Horticultural Department of the National Trust for Scotland. This was in advance of Christian Aid Scotland's The Robert Fortune Show Garden at the Royal Horticultural Society Show on 30 May - 1 June 1997, which was designed by Barnaby Miln. This list was distributed and nobody found fault with it. The show garden won a Royal Horticultural Society’s Silver Gilt Medal (Flora Range), the highest awarded at that show. Several television gardening programmes were broadcast from the Show Garden together with a BBC Songs of Praise in which HRH The Princess Royal was seen being shown the garden by Barnaby Miln.
