Description: This book was written by the author under the suggestion of Sir Charles Elliot who encouraged to prepare a guide for the plants present in the provinces under his rule. The author felt that after the compilation of the major volume on the “Flora of British India”, (where most Indian botanists were involved) efforts should be made by botanists to compile smaller works dealing with the fauna of specific areas. This particular book on Bengal plants serves as a guide to the genera, a summary of the natural system, and details of the various plants of Bengal.
