First series of a botanical work on flowers in India. The work opens with a chromolithographed prefatory poem titled "Help us!", followed by 11 chromolithographed plates faced by an accompanying leaf of chromolithographed verses. The leaves of verses contain poetic excerpts from Dicken's Household Words, The Language of Flowers, Shakespeare, and the Botanical Magazine, and give details of the habit and habitats of some of the illustrated flowers.
