DESCRIPTION
Nepal has about 6,500 species of flowering plants of which more than 700 species are medicinal and 315 species of endemic plants. The country is reasonably rich in plant diversity which constitutes one of the most valuable removable natural resources. Earlier floras were most remarkable botanical work of reference but were mainly devoted to the plants of high altitudes. The plains of Eastern Nepal is floristically explored in the past. Further the area is facing threats to its natural vegetation due to rapid unplanned industrialization and urbanization. The present flora is based on four years of intensive and extensive study of the plants of plains of Eastern Nepal in the field, Laboratory and Herbarium. The flora deals with systematic analysis of 743 species under 493 genera and 128 families of flowering plants both wild and naturalised. The book will be beneficial to the botanists, agriculturists, horticulturists, pharmacologists & those interested in plant science.
