Description

About The Book: This book delves into "The Rhododendrons of Sikkim-Himalaya," offering a botanical and geographical account of recently discovered Rhododendron species in the Eastern Himalayan mountains. The focal point is Darjeeling, nestled in the Sikkim region of the Himalayas. Positioned at a latitude of 27° N and sharing longitude with Calcutta, approximately 380 miles away, the town sits at an elevation of 7,200 feet above sea level. The climate features an average yearly temperature around 55°F, with monthly averages ranging from 41°F to 65°F. The region showcases remarkable landscapes, with the towering peak of Kanchenjunga at 28,172 feet—the world's highest mountain—captivating attention. The Himalayan panorama, adorned with exquisite Rhododendron varieties, evokes awe. The evergreen foliage and enchanting blossoms of the Rhododendron genus have long captivated Europe's fascination. The book navigates through diverse species, their origins, and their importance within various geographical contexts.
