Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book: An increasing demand for everything relating to the vegetable productions of India has of late years been the means of eliciting from various quarters much useful information, tending to a more extensive acquaintance with, as well as improvement of, the natural resources of the country. The short descriptions, which it is hoped are sufficient to identify the plants enumerated, are taken from the best authorities; and in this, as in every other instance, I have acknowledged the sources from whence I have drawn my varied information. At the same time, it will be found that some new facts have been adduced, drawn from personal observation or inquiry, especially regarding plants growing in Travancor. About The Author: Colonel Heber Drury ( 1819-1905) was a British army officer who worked in India and contributed to botany in his spare time. He published two books and several articles on botany and is commemorated in the name of the only peninsular Indian species of slipper orchid in the genus Paphiopedilum, P. druryi, which he collected in the hills of Agastyamalai. In his spare time Drury studied plants and wrote The Useful Plants of India; with Notices of their Uses in Medicine, Commerce, and the Arts and the Handbook of the Indian Flora in three volumes (dedicated to the Travancore King Rama Varma). He also published some historical letters on the Dutch in Malabar and on hunting in Reminiscences of Life and Sport in Southern India apart from papers in the Madras Journal of Literature and Science.
