Question

Name any 2 natural vegetation found in Nepal

Answer 1

The natural vegetation of Nepal follows the pattern of climate and altitude. A tropical, moist zone of deciduous vegetation occurs in the Tarai and the Churia Range. These forests consist mainly of khair (Acacia catechu), a spring tree with yellow flowers and flat pods; sissoo (Dalbergia sissoo), an East Indian tree yielding dark brown durable timber; and sal(Shorea robusta), an East Indian timber tree with foliage providing food for lac insects (which deposit lac, a resinous substance used for the manufacture of shellac and varnishes, on the tree’s twigs). 

Answer 2

The vast forested area below the timber line in the great Himalaya range bears some of the most valuable forests in nepal, containing spruce, fir, cypress, juniper&birch. Alpine vegetation occupies higher parts of the great Himalaya range
