The book is a collection of Indian botanical drawings owned by the Royal Botanic Garden, at Edinburgh. It is also about Alexander Gibson, the East India Company surgeon and forest conservator, who commissioned an unknown Portuguese-Indian artist to do these watercolours and about the botanic gardens of the Bombay Presidency at Dapuri and Hewra,near Poona, where they were painted around 1850.
