Nothing of importance has been added to the descriptions of the Indian Willer 
contained in Andersson’s monograph (A. DC. Prodr. xvi. ii.) published in 1868, T the 
the excellent remarks of Brandis, contained in his Forest Flora. Many 9 a 
species are very incompletely represented in Herbaria, and all are as protean here 
their European congeners. I have thought it best in many cases of doubt to 1 the 
to Andersson's determinations, leaving it to Indian Botanists to note carefu y xi 
variations of all the species (which no one has hitherto attempted), and whic 
no doubt profoundly modify the characters and specific limits as here given.
