‘For three months in the autumn of 1971 a group of horticultural botanists travelled through a little known area of East Nepal collecting seeds of plants suitable for cultivation in Western gardens. As a result many new and interesting seeds were introduced, several for the first time, and the plants are now to be found in some of the most famous gardens and collections in Europe.’.
