Trees and Shrubs of Nepal and Himalayas

This Comprehensive guide to the trees and shrubs of Nepal will be of invaluable assistance to the budding botanist and the layman alike. Within the text will be found hundreds of illustrations and drawings depicting the more common species to be discovered. Of course the Nepal Himalaya is home to many thousands of plant varieties, and many of the plants commonly found in Europe and Britain today have their origins in the Himalayas. In a time when people are becoming increasingly aware of destruction of the world's natural environment, it is all the more important to have such work available. It is to be hoped that this book will help to preserve for future generations a record of the abundant natural plant life in the Himalayan region of Nepal.
