*The Great Field Guide to Himalayan Plants* introduces the flora of the Himalayan wilderness. It contains information on 1,771 plant species personally explored and photographed by the author, a botanical photographer and explorer, over a period of more than 20 years.

It also provides information on Himalayan plant geography, a map of the entire mountain range, regional divisions, and adaptation strategies for alpine plants.
