The history of Vegetative Exploration of Nepal

The history of botanical exploration in Nepal started in 1802 when Buchanan-Hamilton and later Francis Hamilton collected plants from Kathmandu valley. In 1820 Natahniel Wallich intensively collected plants. In 1825 David Don compiled all the plants collected by Buchanan_Hamilton and wallichii and published them in Prodromus Florae Nepalensis, which is the first taxonomic work about the plants of Nepal. I.H. Burkill, in 1907, followed Wallich's route to Kathmandi and collected plants from here. Burkill recorded all his collections in his "notes from journey to Nepal". There is many other minor plant collection from Kathmandu valley but after 1960 some major botanical expeditions particularly from British Museum (England) and Kyoto and Tokyo Universities (Japan) explored Nepal. As a result many new species have been reported.

HMG of Nepal establishment a department of Medicinal Plants in 1960. After establishment, it started the work on flora by publishing bulletins. The major publications are notes on Flora of Rajikunj. Flora of Phulchoki and Godawari, Flora of Nagarjun, Supplement to the Flora of Phulwhoki and Godawari and Flora of Langtang and Cross section vegetation survey.

The natural vegetation is mainly concentrated on surrounding mountains and forested areas. In Kathmandu thithese areas are like Pashupati forest, Gokarna forest, Swoyambhu hills. Hattiban etc. the natural vegetation is subject to human disturbances.

As it appeared all by itself, it is called Swayambhu or the Self Existent One. A prayer wheel encircles the stupa of Swayambhu with the incantation Om Manipadme hum inscribed on it. In all the four directions of the stupa stand four images of Adibuddha Aksyobhya to the east, Ratnasambhunath to the south, Amitabha to the west and Amoghasiddhi to the north. The dome of Swayambhunath is surmounted by a square projection, each of the four sides of which bears a pair of unwinking eyes with a peculiar nose below. In the Buddhist treaties these are described as Tantradi, Mantradi, and Yantradi which are supposed to operate the whole universe. This square projection upon the dome is crowned by tympanums and thirteen rings, each smaller in size than the one below. Each of the tympanums bears the images of Adibuddha like the base of the dome. The thirteen rings, according to Mahayana Buddhist sect, indicate of thirteen heavens. And just above these rings sits a pinnacle. Manasteries, images, temples and stupas strewn about in this area also include the seventeenth century's temples in sikhara style.
