The Forests and Gardens of South India is a book written by Hugh Cleghorn, an eminent Scottish botanist and civil servant who served as the first Conservator of Forests in British India. The book is a detailed account of the flora and fauna found in the forests and gardens of South India, including the Western Ghats, Nilgiris, Coorg, and Malabar regions. The book is divided into two parts, the first part dealing with the forests of South India and the second part focusing on the gardens of the region. In the first part, Cleghorn provides a comprehensive description of the various types of forests found in South India, including tropical evergreen forests, deciduous forests, and montane forests. He also discusses the topography, climate, and soil conditions of each region and how they influence the flora and fauna found there.In the second part, Cleghorn describes the various gardens of South India, including botanical gardens, private gardens, and public parks. He provides a detailed account of the plants and trees found in each garden, their origin, and their uses. He also discusses the history of each garden and how it has evolved over time.Overall, The Forests and Gardens of South India is a valuable resource for botanists, naturalists, and anyone interested in the flora and fauna of South India. The book provides a wealth of information on the region's forests and gardens, including their history, ecology, and conservation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
