It is intended for Foresters and others, who may wish to make themselves acquainted with the immense variety of trees, shrubs, climbers bamboos and palms in the British Indian Empire. my hope has been that this book might facilitate the preparation of local Forest Floras, small portable handbooks, giving an account of the arborescent vegetation of limited areas, provinces or districts of the British Indian Empire.

He returned to Europe in 1883, dividing his time between Bonn and Greater London. In retirement he dedicated himself to scholarly work, resulting in the book Indian Trees (1906), his magnum opus.
