Generic names have been used as markers through which light has been shed on the Botanical History of the Region. Influences that have influenced a botanist’s career and the resultant influences on other botanists creating a web of information. From volume two onward, attempts have been made to provide brief biographical data on the associated person honoured wherever possible.
A detailed index has been prepared. Eponyms of persons who will be covered in future volumes but are not mentioned in the present volume have been given.
Utility of the Book:
1. This will be of interest to both amateur and professional botanists as a compendium of information on botanists, as in an Encyclopaedia, with information on additional sources.

3. Generic entries have been used as point sources for seeking information on the development of a discipline, the history of floristic exploration in a region, etc.
4. Information on mythological personages honoured in plant names is given.
5. Will be of interest to students of botany as Botanical History has been treated as a dynamic force shaping the present and future course of botanical development with a web of interlinked botanical facts, founders, promoters, students, teachers, botanical influences, and revolutions.
