The Genera of Bombay Plants with Derivations op the Names. 



The Bombay Presidency includes Sind but not Aden for the purposes of 

 this list. The genera in Capital letters are indigenous. Exotic genera 

 that are naturalised are treated as indigenous. Those in ordinary roman 

 type are introduced or foreign. The synonyms are in italics. Only such 

 synonyms are given as are mentioned by Cooke. A t after an indigenous 

 genus indicates that its species are also cultivated in Bombay. Those 

 marked indigenous genera and the introduced genera form together a 

 complete list of the cultivated genera of Bombay. Plants growing in pri- 

 vate gardens of which no published records are available have not been 

 mentioned. Also specimens grown in botanical gardens for a mere botanical 

 interest are not included. Otherwise the list that is given here not only 

 gives derivations but also serves as a complete record of indigenous and 

 cultivated genera of Bombay in a very concise form. I do not know of the 

 publication of any complete list before. f 



As regards the derivations, they are largely taken from Nicholson's 

 ' Dictionary of Gardening.' Other sources are Collett's ' Flora Simlensis,' 

 Drury's ' Hand Book of the Indian Flora,' and Bailey's ' Standard Cyclo- 

 pedia of Horticulture.' These authorities are acknowledged in the body of 



* See this Journal, Vol. XVII, p. .567. 

 t Cooke in his "Bombay Flora" gives all the indigenous genera with full des- 

 criptions. He merely mentions the introduced genera with the species and he 

 omits about half their number.
