SkSV6 2 To HIS HIGHNESS RAMAH VURMAH MAHARAJAH OF TRAVANCORE A PRINCE WHO WITH A MIND ENLIGHTENED BY EDUCATION AND GUIDED BY TASTE AND FEELING HAS ALWAYS EVINCED A DESIRE FOR THE DIFFUSION OF KNOWLEDGE BOTH IN AND BEYOND THE LIMITS OF HIS OWN BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY Chis Work is WITH PERMISSION Mevtcated BY HIS HIGHNESS’ FAITHFUL AND QBEDIENT SERVANT THE AUTHOR; PREFACE. o£ Tue increasing interest taken in Botanical pursuits in this country will, it is hoped, be a. sufficient guarantee for the favourable reception of the present work. It is intended to offer to the student a manual of the Flora of the Continent of India south of the Himalayas, including the countries of Silhet, Assam and Chittagong to the eastward. A work of so comprehensive a character is at present a great desideratum, though we possess several local Floras of much value; and however premature it ‘ might be considered, even now, to announce a complete descrip- tive catalogue of plants growing over so extensive an area as that contemplated, yet certainly there exist ample materials, which when carefully sifted and brought together, will make up a very considerable collection. The descriptions are limited to those Plants which are purely indigenous to the country, all those which have been introduced and naturalized, being purposely omitted. In all cases the synonyms have been included, though it has not been deemed necessary to give more than one or two references of identi- fication, and the selection whenever practicable, both in this as in the case of the engravings, has been from the works of writers on Indian Botany. As the work is intended to be practically useful to all classes and localities, an index of vernacular synonyms in five different languages is added, since the identification of a plant by the method of first ascertaining its native name, if not invariably successful in practice, will in most cases be so, and thus afford the greatest assistance to beginners. Every one must be aware how great are the disadvantages of a remote station in India where no libraries are available for il reference, and where rarely one can enjoy any personal commu- nication with those whose pursuits are congenial to his own. Under these circumstances the Author would here claim indul- gence for the faults and omissions which must necessarily BS discovered in a work of this character. H. D, Trevandrum, Harch, 1864.
