Indian Forester, Scottish Laird: The Botanical Lives of Hugh Cleghorn of Stravithie ( Volume 1) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781910877104)

Hugh Francis Clarke Cleghorn (1820-1895) was one of the many remarkable Scottish surgeons who worked for the East India Company, but who used an official posting as a base for research upon India's rich flora, and recording it visually in drawings made by Indian artists. His particular interest was in useful plants, which led to the major work in the field of forest conservancy for which he is best remembered.
