About the book
Nepal is a heterogeneous country of different ethnic groups with different
cultures and languages. This Himalayan Kingdom is also very rich in natural
wealth, varied flora and fauna dwelling in different topographical variations.
Nepalese plants are known by different names by different people. After
many years of studies a book of this kind has been possible to publish in
the dictionary form to give a complete Nepali plant names. With concise
information on economic botany, history of plant exploration and phytogeography
it gives the plant names in Nepali, Newar, Gurung, Rai, Tharu, Tamang, Limbu,
English and so on.
Out of 7000 expected flora in Nepal, this book only includes more than 2000
plants names of Nepal, which includes plant names from different parts of
the country; from hills, high mountains, valleys, duns, terai etc. Though
plant names vary from people to people with their localities and languages,
one established pant names are not changeable as do the Latin names.
Though Nepal has a history of plant collection since 1802-3, Nepalese plant
names were not so much popularized, hence most layman, forester, agriculturist,
horticulturist and others were not familiar with the Latin as well as other
local names, So the author hopes this book will fulfill such demands in
Nepal and abroad. |
