Excerpt from Plantarum Indi??? Orientalis, Vol. 6: Or Figures of Indian Plants This consideration, combined with the interruption of the Illustrations, led to this, if I may so call it, monographic plan, to carry out which I generally took up whole orders, and studied them until I had familiarized myself with the distinguishing features and discriminating characters of their genera. Having done so, I then selected for representation those I considered the most interesting or best adapted to convey a knowledge of the peculiarities of the family to which they belonged, aswell as of the sections, under which they had been grouped by Botanists who had particularly studied and sub -divided the order. Proceeding on this plan I have been led to the construction of more new genera than I might perhaps have deemed prudent, had I not thus in the first instance made myself well acquainted with the labours of my predecessors, and I have certainly been prevented falling into many errors, by being thereby enabled to refer transition forms to already defined genera which I at first thought entitled to form the types of new ones. Having been thus careful, I trust those genera I have ventured to form, will generally be found to rest on a firm basis.
