This volume contains a descriptive account of the wild flowers and trees of Simla and the 

 surrounding country, written specially for the use of amateurs, and illustrated by 200 figures, 

 half natural size, of a selection of the plants. Although the arrangement of the matter is on 

 a scientific basis, the language employed is as simple as the subject would allow, and a 

 glossary of indispensable technical terms is appended. The derivation of the botanical names 

 is also explained. The Introduction contains an analytical examination of the composition of 

 the flora, and an account of the aspects of the vegetation, compiled from various sources. 

 The map bears the names and altitudes of the] principal places cited as localities for the 

 different plants.
