Abstract
SECTION K. BOTANY. OPENING ADDRESS BY SIR GEORGE KING, K.C.I.E., LL.D. F.R.S., PRESIDENT OF THE SECTION. A Sketch of the History of Indian Botany. THE earliest references in literature to Indian plants are, of course, those which occur in the Sanskrit classics. These are, however, for the most part vague and obscure. The interest which these references have, great as it may be, is not scientific, and they may therefore be omitted from consideration on the, present occasion.
