Flowers of the Himalaya: A Supplement Hardcover - 1989

by Adam Stainton


From the publisher

This supplement to Flowers of the Himalaya (Oxford, 1984) covers species that were not included in the previous book, with much new photographic material that has since become available. It also includes illustrations of species that were given only a written description or which were
illustrated by simple drawings. Many tropical species and some exotics are included. In all, 584 species are described and illustrated in color. In conjunction with the previous volume, which covered more than a thousand species, this supplement provides the most comprehensive field guide
available for the plants of the Himalayan region.

First line

A large cosmopolitan family, mostly of herbaceous plants, with its main concentration in the temperate and cool regions of both Hemispheres.

From the rear cover

As the name suggests, this book is a supplement of the definitive and widely acclaimed Flowers of the Himalaya (1984) by Oleg Polunin and Adam Stainton. The Supplement contains some 350 species not previously described in the parent volume. These include a number of species common in subtropical parts of the subcontinent and a number of exotics -- many of American origin which visitors frequently suppose to be indigenous.
