Description
This is the fifth volume of a detailed exhibition catalog documenting the economic products of India presented at the prestigious Calcutta International Exhibition of 1883-84. Authored by the distinguished botanist and economic botanist George Watt, this work specifically focuses on medicinal products derived from Indian flora and traditional sources.
The volume represents a significant historical record of India’s pharmaceutical resources and traditional medicine practices during the late 19th century. It includes descriptions, classifications, and documentation of various medicinal substances, plants, and preparations that were recognized for their therapeutic properties. The work reflects the botanical knowledge and indigenous medical systems of India, providing valuable insights into the country’s contribution to global pharmacology and medicine.
Originally published as part of the exhibition proceedings, this reprint by Gyan Publishing House makes this important historical and scientific document accessible to modern researchers, historians, and those interested in the history of medicine and botany in India.
