A Scottish doctor and botanist, George Watt (1851-1930) had studied
the flora of India for more than a decade before he took on the
task of compiling this monumental work. Assisted by numerous
contributors, he set about organising vast amounts of information
on India's commercial plants and produce, including scientific and
vernacular names, properties, domestic and medical uses, trade
statistics, and published sources. Watt hoped that the dictionary,
'though not a strictly scientific publication', would be found
'sufficiently accurate in its scientific details for all practical
and commercial purposes'. First published in six volumes between
1889 and 1893, with an index volume completed in 1896, the whole
work is now reissued in nine separate parts. Volume 2 (1889)
contains entries from cabbage (introduced to India by Europeans) to
Cyperus (a genus of grass-like flowering plants).
