For the first time, this group of authors compile over 200 years’ worth of local botanical research. Due to the high topographical diversity, Nepal has a very unique flora and vegetation. The chapters focus on cryptogams, phanerogams and alien flora. As an added bonus, historical background for native and invasive species, is explained. Aside from botanical knowledge, the authors also shed a light on Nepali geography, soil, climate and land use. To complete the picture, readers will find data on different plants, maps and photographs of unique species. This book is a valuable resource for Botanists and Ecologists, but also for interested travelers who would like to complement their next trek in Nepal
