Hardcover. Condition: New. From the Foreword: I am pleased to know that the department of plant resources is going to publish a book Flowering Plants Discovered from Nepal . Nepal is rich in its biological diversity including plant resources. Thousands of new plant species have been discovered from Nepal and still the collection and studies on the flowering plants are going on. Nearly 217 years of explorations carried in the past have discovered many new flowering plants in Nepal.
