India is a nation with a rich botanical heritage, and always has been. The importance of the bounty that we possessed may not have been recognized until a few centuries ago. The remembrance of our elaborate colonial past is alive in the spirit of the nation. And at some point in history, these two identities converged- contributing an ocean of botanical discoveries and breakthroughs by the Portuguese, Dutch and the British. We bring to you these surveys, arranged chronologically – All aligned in a timeline! We have curated 97 British, 8 Dutch and 3 Portuguese surveys, spanning across the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
