First published in 1994, the field guide was a companion to a taxonomic enumeration of the bamboos of Nepal and Bhutan published in the Edinburgh Journal of Botany.
Fieldwork was undertaken from 1981 to 1992 through the Forestry Departments of the Royal Governments of Nepal and Bhutan, in conjunction with the UK international aid program, through VSO, DFiD (ODA), the Foresty Dept. of Aberdeen University, the Forestry Research Program of the University of Oxford, and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
Further fieldwork was undertaken in 1997, supported by the Ministry of Agriculture & Forests, the SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, the Royal Society for Protection of Nature (RSPN), the Anglo-Hong Kong Trust, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
