Other general floras, for what are wider areas, are in course of preparation for Bengal, Bombay and the Upper Gangetic Plain; but although these floras will apply to whole provinces, or at any rate to areas as large as provinces, they will, none of them, cover so wide a vertical range.It gives all information about plants growing at all altitudes, from the Himalayan valleys only a little raised above sea-level to elevations of 12,000 and even of 16,000 feet.
