Polunin & Stainton

[Joan F. Wall]

The "concise" paperback that I have contains all (315) the line drawings
from the original and 690 (all) the color photographs.  The copy I
have has printed on the back cover

"the descriptions in the text have been abbreviated and limited
almost entirely to those species which are illustrated.  A few
additional species which are not illustrated but which are
common and closely related to those illustrated have also been described."

" The area covered in teh Concise remains the same as in the
Flowers of the Himalaya" from the Nepal--Sikkim border in the
south-easst of the Himalaya to the Indid--Pakistan border in the
north west.  The boundary to the north is the Tibet boreder.
Southwards, the sub-tropical flora which is found at lower altitudes
towards the Indian plains has mostly been omitted, but a few prominent
species have been included."

It's published by Oxford University Press and was listed a few years
back at 19.50 pounds (no pound symbol on my machine.)
