Plants of Kathmandu Valley (A Pictorial Guide) – Maan B Rokaya;Shalik R Sigdel;Saroj K Kasaju

The Kathmandu valley is well-known for the beautiful scenery, which ranges from a flat plain to the steep hills that surround it. Botanical exploration in the Kathmandu valley began in 1802. Many people’s efforts over the last two millennia have resulted in a huge amount of knowledge about various plant species. However, several areas of the valley still require a thorough study to learn more about the plant species.
This book, Plants of Kathmandu Valley: A Pictorial Guide, provides information on 885 flowering plant species representing 491 genera and 120 families found in and around the Kathmandu Valley. The goal of this book is to present an illustrated overview of the valley’s flora using high-quality images. We provide detailed descriptions of all species, including updated taxonomy, vernacular names, habits, morphological characteristics, flowering and fruiting time periods, habitat, distribution in Nepal and around the world, and economic uses.
This book possesses the capacity to serve as a highly significant asset for individuals worldwide, both within their own country and beyond. This resource will be valuable for researchers, individuals exploring various regions, or those seeking information on specific plant species found in the valley.
