THE FLORA OF Nepal is one of the best known in the Himalaya but it still retains some of its secrets and it has been my gooc fortune to have unlocked a few of them during my various travels.I was enthused by mountains before I became excited by plants, but these two interests soon merged together and collectively influenced my life. At an early age I was drawn to the high hills of Britain where my clamberings in the Black Cuillin of Skye allowed me to locate Arabis alpina in its only known site in Britain, while later in Snowdonia I tracked down the elusive Lloydia serotina on the cliffs of Cwm Idwal.
