Henry Noltie, no stranger to Indian botanists, is an adorable botanist and avid plant and botanical-art historian of colonial India and of the Madras Presidency in particular. Many, I am sure, will recall his magnificent volumes on Robert Wight, another Scot, who revolutionized the understanding and management of economic plants of the Indian subcontinent.

Abstract


Henry Noltie, no stranger to Indian botanists, is an adorable botanist and avid plant and botanical-art historian of colonial India and of the Madras Presidency in particular. Many, I am sure, will recall his magnificent volumes on Robert Wight, another Scot, who revolutionized the understanding and management of economic plants of the Indian subcontinent.
