"Nepal embraces a profusion of habitats for plants and people . 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 1,517 kinds of plants belonging to 858 genera and 195 families, equal to perhaps one-fifth of the entire Nepalese flora. Many of the plants have more than one application, and 1,002 medicinal plants, 651 food plants, and 696 plants used for a rich variety of other purposes are recorded here" (jacket blurb).
