Bishen Singh Mahendra Pal Singh Illustrations of Jammu Plants A Supplement to Flora of Jammur and Plants of Neighbourhood with General Key by Sharma B M
In the years that have gone by since the publication of author's Flora of Jammu and Plants of Neighborhood in 1981 and Illustrations to the Flora of Jammu in 1983, quite a few developments have been pressingly calling for updating these volumes in the wake of fresh information which presently is being sought to be transmitted through this Supplement. As does its title suggest, illustrations comprise the mainstay of the publication, with as many as 381 pen and ink drawings distributed over 181 plates. These include drawings of nearly 101 species not included in the original text, and another 280 species described previously but not illustrated. The Supplement is thus assumed to be for those who already own the parent work or have access to a library possessing the same. The arduous task has been accomplished in compliance to the wishes of numerous users who have been benefited by the parent volume of illustrations.
