A Catalogue of the Plants Growing in Bombay and Its Vicinty


Book Description

Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Plants Growing in Bombay and Its Vicinty: Spontaneous, Cultivated or Introduced, as Far as They Have Been Ascertained The Catalogue of Plants now given to the public, was presented to the Agricultural and Horticultural Society of Western India by the late John Graham Esq. Deputy Post Master General of this Presidency, and one of the Members of the Society. The following Letter, which accompanied its presentation, will explain the circumstances under which it was drawn up. Sir, I beg to present to our Society a List of the Vegetable productions of the Bombay Presidency, and to signify my willingness to see it correctly through the press, should the Society deem it worthy of publication. It has been drawn up with great care through the assistance of Mr. Nimmo; and not a single Plant is put down which has not been seen and examined by one or other of us. I need hardly say that such a List is much wanted by all who pay any attention to the study of Botany, and will save much time and trouble in consulting Books and figures. Viewing the undertaking in the light of a desideratum, the Committee of the Society promptly and liberally accepted the offer, and the printing of the Catalogue had proceeded under Mr. Graham's superintendence, as far as the 200th page, when death terminated his labours. The remainder has been completed under the supervision of J. Nimmo Esq. who has been for many years a zealous and successful fellow labourer in the same field of science. The lovers of botanical Science here gladly avail themselves of this opportunity of expressing their deep sense of obligation to Mr. Nimmo for the cordial co-operation, without which this work would not have been undertaken.

CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants


Book Description

Written as a reference to be used within University, Departmental, Public, Institutional, Herbaria, and Arboreta libraries, this book provides the first starting point for better access to data on medicinal and poisonous plants. Following on the success of the author's CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names and the CRC World Dictionary of Grasses, the author provides the names of thousands of genera and species of economically important plants. It serves as an indispensable time-saving guide for all those involved with plants in medicine, food, and cultural practices as it draws on a tremendous range of primary and secondary sources. This authoritative lexicon is much more than a dictionary. It includes historical and linguistic information on botany and medicine throughout each volume.
