Summary
In these matters (of style and phraseology) my Flora of the British Islands has been followeD; the style there adopted having been suggested by the requirements of the Professors of Botany in the Scotch universities and approved by them, seemed to me to be equally applicable to a more extended [work]. … It is as a hand-book to what is already known, and a pioneer to more complete works, that the present is put forward.
J. D. Hooker, Preface to Flora of British India (1872).The time for the preparation of a complete Local Flora of the Lower Provinces [Bengal] has not yet come.
D. Prain, Bengal plants, 1: 5 (1903).It should be remembered that outside the small herbarium and botanical library in Hong Kong herbaria and botanical libraries were non-existent in China previous to 1916.
H.-L. Li, Proc. Linn. Soc. London156: 39 (1944).Beyond the Great Wall [of China] there is not enough rainfall to support agriculture; below it there is.
R. M. Nixon, The Real War (1980).This division essentially consists of that half of the Asiatic continent under the influence of the summer monsoon. Its western and northern limits, which impinge upon Division 7, originate at the Arabian Sea coast west of Karachi and run along the western edge of the Indus Basin and then along the upper course of the Indus River and the ‘cease-fire line’ to the Kashmiri–Chinese border.
