Flowering plants of Uttarakhand : [a checklist] B.P. Uniyal ... [et al.] - Dehra Dun Bishan Singh Mahendra Pal Singh 2007 - 404 p. : col. ill. ; 24 cm
Uttarakhand was carved out of Uttar Pradesh on 9th November 2000 as a seperate state. the state is predominantly mountainous with exception in the south where plain areasa occur. The state encompasses two phytogeographical regoins, the siwaliks and the western Himalayas, a storehouse of plant wealth. The altitudanal varaiation and the varied topography make the state floristically a rich area. The state has no published flora of its own, therefore it was decided to compile a checklist of flowering plants of the state.
The present book enumerates more than 4700 species of flowering plants under 1523 genera and 223 families of angiosperms and gymnosperms. Hope it will be useful to researchers, foresters and other interested in nature and will lead to the publication of detailed flora.
