It contains a comprehensive list of 350 species, including 210 Indian and 140 Exotic ones, with scientific names contributed by Mr. Boulenger and Mr. C. B. Clarke.The book also covers forest classification and details on flowering and fruiting seasons, with the aim of inspiring similar initiatives in other regions of Bengal and Assam. Among the listed species is Dillenia Indica, known as Chaltay in Pahari and Phamsikoly in Lepcha, commonly found in Mixed Plains Forest and Lower Hill Forest valleys. This tree blooms in September, and its fruit ripens from March to April. Recognizable by its red bark peeling off in large flakes, the wood of this tree is red-brown, hard, and heavy, although rarely utilized. Its fruit is remarkably large, resembling a big apple and enclosed by a fleshy calyx. The flowers are sizeable and white, while the leaves are large and rough.
