ABOUT THE BOOK: The book "Seed Album of Some Medicinal Plants of India" is a novel experiment-a deviation from the normal trend of focusing the leaves and flowers of a plant. The book not only depicts the morphological diversity and beauty of seeds but also assists in an instant identification of the plants through attractive photographs of seeds/fruits. The physiological aspects such as seed dormancy, germination, viability and propagation methods have also been given due consideration for facilitating the cultivation which is a need of the hour in light of increasing awareness for and demand of medicinal plants so as to prevent their exhaustion from the nature and ultimately prevent their extinction. The genuineness of the drug and its sustained supply are also ensured. The medicinal uses of the plants are also described in this book. The plants are integral part of the human life and the seed is the most vital entity of the life cycle of a plant which has been given due importance in the present book.
