The links between the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and India go
back for two and a half centuries. Surgeons who had studied botany
at the Garden laid the foundations of western knowledge of the
Indian flora. Supplementing their written plant descriptions with
botanical drawings, commissioned from Indian artists, they
established collections which survive today at Edinburgh, the
Natural History Museum and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This
book tells the story of these collections, reproducing a selection
of 86 exquisite, original drawings - including examples made in all
three of the Presidencies (administrative units) of British India
(Bombay, Bengal and Madras), between 1770 and 1860.
