Excerpt from Notes on Some Plants of the Himalaya: A Paper Read Before the Natural History Society of Tonbridge School, on May 11th, 1895

Now I may say at once that' on first landing in Bombay or Calcutta, or when journeying across the vast plains of the Indian peninsula, you will see but very few, or perhaps none, of your old friends. From the foot of the Himalaya to the shores of Cape Comorin the trees and plants will, as a rule, be of strange and unfamiliar aspect. But when you begin to ascend the lower slopes of the mighty ranges of snow-capped moun tains that close like a huge fortification the northern frontiers of India, the scene suddenly changes, and you will at once joyfully recognise, in many shrubs and wayside flowers, some of the familiar friends of your boyhood.
