ABOUT THE BOOK

Plant Diversity of Eastern Nepal is a monumental botanical reference that provides a comprehensive taxonomic account of the flora found in the plains of Eastern Nepal. This scholarly work is the result of extensive field surveys and systematic documentation by the authors, covering a vast range of plant species—from medicinal herbs to timber trees. The book details the morphological characteristics, habitat, and distribution of each species, making it an indispensable tool for conservationists and environmentalists. By focusing on the unique biodiversity of the Terai and its surrounding plains, it fills a critical gap in the botanical knowledge of the Himalayan foothills. It serves as both a scientific record of the region's natural heritage and a guide for sustainable ecological management in one of the world's most biodiverse corridors.
