Orchids of Godavari and surrounding areas

The Godavari-Phulchoki landscape is extremely rich in biodiversity. Over the years, researchers and nature enthusiasts have documented the incredible diversity of its birds, butterflies, dragonflies, and flora. This book documents in amazing detail the incredible diversity of orchids in the landscape, including a new generic record for the orchid flora of Nepal. This is the result of a four-year survey and in situ photo documentation effort. In highlighting the diversity, it also raises conservation concerns and reminds us that much more needs to be done by way of survey, documentation, and conservation of this diversity.
