The Flora will be published in 50 volumes with ca. 80 books, with the larger families dvided into two to seven parts. The classfication systems used in this Flora will reflect our current understanding of the Angisperm Phylognomic systems for the gymnosperms,ferns, and lycophytes will be followed for the treatments of those groups

Volume 48 part 2 of the Flora of Pan-Himalaya is the secon n the series of 50 volumes, divded among about 80 separate parts. It inclues only the one genus, Saussurea of the Asteraceae family(which is the largest family in the pan-Himalaya),wih 235 species,149 of which(63.4%)are endemic to the Pam-Himalaya. Saussurea is a notoriously difficult, largely Asiatic, genus with often indistinct species boundaries. Many new species of Saussurea were described in the course of preparing this account, and it is possible that yet more new species remain to be discovered, Many species Placed by Lipschitz in Saussurea, which are now thought to belong to other genera Aucklandia,Frolovia,Himalaiella and Shangwua, are excluded from this treatment and can be found under the respective segregate genera
