Description
Bishen Singh Mahendra Pal Singh Dictionary of Commemorative Plant Generic Names Vol 27 Addition to Vol 1-26 A to C by Chandra Sudhir
The present work represents volume 27 of the projected 42 volumes. It is hoped to cover over 25,000 commemorative names covering all fields of botany.Generic names have been used as markers through which light is thrown on the botanical history of a region. Factors that have influenced a botanist’s career and the resultant influences on other botanists create a web of information. From volume two onwards attempts have been made to provide brief biographical data on the associated person honoured, wherever possible.A detailed index in included and eponyms of people which will be covered in future volumes, but found mentioned in the present volume, have been given.
