In this book, the author underscores the vital importance of a comprehensive manual meticulously documenting both the botanical and vernacular identities of plants responsible for the abundant timber and exotic woods in India, Eastern, and Southern Asia. This manual delves into wood characteristics, additional economic products, forest locations, and spotlights plants deserving increased attention. Significant contributions from experts and government departments have expanded our knowledge of India's timber trees and exotic woods, thereby contributing to India's resource development.

Edward Green Balfour (1813–1889) was a Scottish surgeon, orientalist, and early environmentalist in India. He established museums in Madras and Bangalore, a zoological garden in Madras, and played a vital role in promoting forest conservation and public health in India. Balfour authored a comprehensive Cyclopaedia of India, which saw multiple editions published after 1857. He also translated health-related works into Indian languages and wrote on diverse subjects. His notable works include "The agricultural pests of India," "The Vydian and the Hakim," "Medical Hints to the People of India," "The Timber Trees, Timber and Fancy Woods," and "Birds of Eastern and Southern Asia."
