The textbooks of Botany commonly used in India are not exactly suited to the requirements of the Indian student. Most of the plants which they cite to illustrate the text are foreign to the plains of I ndia, and serve no purpose other than to cram his memory with facts which he has no means to verify by actual observation. These textbooks naturally give prominence to those Natural Orders which prevail in Europe, while those of Indian importance find a scanty notice. Then again, there are many points of special interest in the Indian Flora which are either left out or treated in inadequate detail. It is hoped that the present Manual, by providing a book based upon Indian Natural Orders, will supply this real and long-felt want.
