47 of India's most beautiful flowering trees are described and illustrated in this book, which is a classic in its field. The distinguished authors draw heavily on the observations of naturalist contributors to the Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society. In addition to the introductory comment on each tree, there are sections on distribution; description; gardening; flowering, leaf-shedding and fruiting; natural reproduction; artificial reproduction; ecomic value; domestic uses; medicinal properties and uses; sacred uses; and vernacular names. Appendices feature descriptions of the families represented; a key to the genera; changes in menclature; a glossary of botanical terms; and sources of further information. 44 line drawings and 31 colour and 47 mochrome plates illustrate the text.
