The book Virtuous Plants contains scientific names, popular names in different international/nationa/regional languages, legendary/historical significance, systematic position according to three systems of plant classification viz., Bentham Hooker, Engler Prantl and Hutchinson; geographical distribution, morphological features, flowering, fruiting, methods of propagation/cultivation and various uses of 92 virtuous plants of Indian subcontinent. The book contains photographs of 42 plants also. It is hoped that the book will create interest even among the common man and invite attention of all those concerned to conserve and facilitate sustainable utilization of natural resources through conservation measures and integration of various industries besides helping students, teachers, scientists, foresters, naturalists and industrialists in formulating various projects and farmers for increasing their income through plantation and adoption of various schemes/avenues related to these plants.
