Abbreviated transcript of Roxburgh's 'Flora Indica', a dictionary of Indian plants and shrubs. Arranged in 23 classes: Monandria to Polygamia. With index by a later hand. Volume 1 of 'Flora Indica' as published at Serampore in 1820. It was edited by William Carey (1761-1834) and contained entries of additional plants by Nathaniel Wallich (1786-1854).
