Flowers of the Himalaya by Oleg Polunin
This is the first book of its kind, helping the reader to identify the wild flowers of the Himalaya, from Kashmir and Ladakh to the Nepal-Sikkim border in the east. It contains descriptions of 1500 species and illustrations of over 1000 species, most if them in colour. The book also gives details of where to go plant-hunting in the Himalaya, and at what seasons of the year. Brief descriptions of types of climate, geology, soils, altitude effects, and the activities of man and his animals on the vegetation are also included.
The authors are to be congratulated on an excellent book which will prove to be a standard reference for decades to come* Watsonia *
