Book Description
Excerpt from Introduction to the Systematy of Indian Trees The most characteristic feature is intense insolation, which gives practically unlimited supplies of photosynthetic carbohydrate, in excess of the possible capacity for further proteid - synthesis, dependent in turn on the food-ions of the water-supply. \vaste polysaccharide is utilized in timber-production and xerophytic protective mechanism of sclerosed strands and layers, conspicuous also in massive capsules or sclerosed indehiscent fruits, as again in the production of starch or hydrocarbon fat and oil, giving enhanced possibilities of food-storage for embryos in germination, or again as the sugars and organic acids of large succulent fruits utilized for the dis persal of seeds by animal agency. Increased rates of metabolism follow higher temperature. Foliage-leaves may be reckoned in feet instead of inches, and the same applies to the development of the annual shoot. Flowers range to huge mechanisms, or may be reduced to the merest vestiges of economized systems. Pollination by bee-agency is less predominant in forest - formation; small mechanisms are associated with flies and insects with Short proboscides; larger mechanisms grade to moth and bird-visitation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Indian Trees: An Account of Trees, Shrubs, Woody, Climbers, Bamboos, and Palms, Indigenous or Commonly Cultivated in the British Indian Empire The object of this work is restricted and is entirely practical. It is intended for Foresters and others, who may wish to make themselves acquainted with the immense variety of trees, shrubs, climbers, bamboos and palms in the British Indian Empire. Ceylon and the Malay Peninsula are not included, and the book is limited to flowering plants; tree-ferns I have not been able to deal with. In this study the first step necessarily is to determine the name of a plant met with, and my principal aim has been to facilitate this difficult operation. To some extent I am told this has been accomplished for a portion of the Empire by the Forest Flora of north-west and Central India, which was commenced by the late Dr. Lindsay Stewart and completed by me in 1874.
