It has now been over 4 months since we returned to Edinburgh after the successful botancial exploration of Baglung, Rukum and Dolpa districts for the Flora of Nepal Project.
As well as our normal day-to-day tasks we’ve been busily writing fieldwork reports to funding bodies, working to identify our collections as well as databasing information and images to get the data online.
Full collection data for the 453 collections are available by searching for the BRD expedition under Specimens in Nepal and if latitudes, longitudes and habitat descriptions aren’t your thing there are 3309 field images of the plants collections to look at instead.
Here are some of my favourite plants and images from the expedition.
