This book is intended mainly for the use of two classes. Firstly, Englishmen and Englishwomen, whose duty calls them to Western India, and without being, or intending to become, scientific botanists, wish to know something about the trees and flowers which surround them. The object of this book, then, is to enable any person of average education and very moderate powers of study to identify, by reference to this one volume alone, any flowering plant met with in the Bombay Presidency. For this purpose not only a description of the individual plants is required, but also something like an outline of botany generally, and in particular an explanation of the scientific classification of plants.
