  • Product Description

    Narayan P. Manandhar has spent decades in a firsthand study of the ethnobotanical riches of Nepal's flora. He has conducted field research in all 75 districts of Nepal, on foot, in a lifelong effort to identify the plants and record their traditional roles in Nepalese society. The result is this book, his magnum opus, in which he describes the uses of an astonishing 1517 kinds of plants belonging to 858 genera and 195 families, equal to perhaps one-fifth of the entire Nepalese flora. This indigenous wisdom is dying with the older generation, so we are fortunate that the author has rescued this heritage for his fellow Nepalese and, indeed, all who are concerned about the wealth of knowledge to be obtained from this fascinating country. More than 830 drawings and 48 color photographs by the author illustrate the text.
