Book Description
Excerpt from Forestry in Southern India The Teak tree scientifically known as the Tectona grandis belongs to the natural order of Verbenaceae or Vervain order, a genus of dicotyledonous plants deriving its name from the Indian one of tekka or theka used to designate the principal species. The most important, if not the only species, is the Tectona grandis, a large tree, a native of India, the wood of which is well known by the name of Teak or Sagwc'in. It is hard, and durable, and of great use in building ships as well as for many other useful purposes, as it is very hard and of longer duration than the oak. It is often called the Indian Oak, having ashy-coloured and scaly bark with the young shoots, four-sided and grooved without stipules, large deciduous leaves measuring from twelve to twenty-four inches long, and from eight to sixteen inches broad, rough and covered with short stiff hairs above, whitish and downy beneath, panicles terminal, large cross armed divided in twos with a stemless fertile flower in each cleft or division covered with a brown mealy powder, and the stalks are deeply grooved with four prominent angles, and flowers numerous small white, the outer and inner envelopes, five to six cleft, stamens, six, ovary round hairy, four-celled cells, one seeded nut very hard. It flowers in June and July, and the seeds ripen in September and October. Dye - From the tender leaves a purple colour is extracted which is used as a dye for silk and cotton cloths. Medicinal.-the young leaves are eaten boiled with sugar in sore mouth, and the flowers prepared much in the same way in dropsy. The green fruits are compounded into an ointment and used for various skin eruptions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Forestry in the South It is inconceivable that this complex scheme of things we have evolved in building up a new nation should continue in its present paths without the varied and necessary products of the forest. We have come to take these forest products for granted, like water, sun shine and air. Yet in the face of all this, we know that wood is daily becoming more scarce.

Excerpt from The Timber Trees, Timber and Fancy Woods, as Also, the Forests of India and of Eastern and Southern Asia It had been suggested to me that persons whose avocations require them to attend to matters connected with the forests and With the timber trees, timber and fancy woods of India and of Eastern and Southern Asia, would find assistance in a manual indicating the botanical and vernacular names of the plants that furnish these useful products and which would also give some information regarding the characters of their different woods and their other economic products, noticing also the forests in which they grow and remarking on those plants towards the greater extension of which attention should be chiefly directed.

Book Description
Excerpt from On the Indian Hills: Or, Coffee-Planting in Southern India I commend these sketches of adventurous life in a little-known corner of India with more confidence because they bring out in a simple but picturesque fashion the natural variety and woodland features of a great region, whose immense resources for forestry, plantations, and hunting are even now hardly comprehended by Indian authorities. My son, who has put these pages together from long-ago collected material of notes made in all the novelty and rough experiences of pioneering in the southern jungles of Hindostan, has, happily I think for his book, nothing to say of the beaten tracks of Indian travel; and it is for this reason, because he breaks fresh ground, and because he describes with the pleasant simplicity of letters written for home read ing strange and curious phases of jungle-life in these vast and half-explored woodlands of the Madras peninsula, that I am emboldened to express my own pleasure in reperusing his book, and glad to commend it to all who love the East and enjoy plain tales of the Asiatic hills excellently told.

Excerpt from Forest Life and Sport in India A national interest in forestry is necessary to its success as a permanent industry. Such an interest has been long existent in Europe with beneficial results; in the United States of America it has conduced to much good work during the past decade; in the United Kingdom it is a growing force, If this narrative arouses some interest in the forests of India it will have served a useful purpose; for there State Forestry is still in the beginning.
