Based on the definitive and widely-acclaimed Flowers of the Himalaya, the Concise describes over 1000 species of Himalayan flowers in a more portable and less expensive format. Lavishly illustrated with almost 700 color photos, this volume covers a wide variety of flora in the area from the Nepal-Sikkim border to the south-east of the Himalaya to the India-Pakistan border in the north-west and to the Tibetan border in the north. This book will provide a wealth of information for the amateur botanist to the professional naturalist.
