About the Book
This book traces the medical and botanical reconnaissance of indigenous medicinal plants in nineteenth-century Bengal, highlighting their integration into the framework of modern science. It offers a detailed examination of how traditional knowledge of plants was documented, studied, and eventually incorporated into scientific discourse, bridging the gap between indigenous practices and Western scientific methodologies.
By focusing on Bengal as a crucial site for this interaction, the book explores the historical and cultural significance of medicinal plants in the colonial era and their evolving role in modern science. This work is an invaluable resource for those interested in the history of medicine, botany, and the colonial encounter between indigenous knowledge and Western science.
