The rich and varied habitat of Pakistan is home to an estimated 4,940 plant species. Though there has been some effort to catalogue the fascinating flora of this region, information published so far has been in a highly condensed and technical format. This book is the first book of its kind to present an account of over 650 selected flowering plants of Pakistan to the reader in an understandable and interesting format. Each plant is illustrated with a photograph, accompanied by a brief descriptive account, indicating its relationship within the plant kingdom and its occurrence throughout the world. An important feature of the book is a key that enables the non-specialist to identify the plants. Indices of scientific, English and local names, plus a glossary of botanical terms, have been included to aid botanists and naturalists in their work.
