Book Description

Excerpt from Hand-Book of Indian Flora, Vol. 3: Being a Guide to All the Flowering Plants Hitherto Described as Indigenous to the Continent of India The present volume completes the enumeration of the Phanerogamic Flora of India. The Author would have felt more satisfied if some Orders, especially the Grasses, had been less incomplete; but these have imfortunately not received hitherto that attention which their importance deserves. With such materials, however, as are available the best compilation has been made, and if this work should prove useful, in however slight a degree, in aiding the future researches of the Indian Botanist, the Author will feel that the labour of seven years has not been entirely thrown away.
