In this book I have tried to look at our forests from a layman's point of view, because I myself an only an amateur naturalist. Therefore, a professional may well find errors, misstatements or even plain, downright bloomers. For these and other mistakes I apologise most humbly. However, tongue in cheek, of course, I would like to pass the blame partially on to the foresters, who really should have taken the initiative to write on the forests. Even Captain J.Forsyth, whom I have quoted copiously, was an army engineer and surveyor and not a professional forester.
When describing the forest types I have used the botanical name in the first instance, but thereafter I have generally used the vernacular name. Obviously the local naem is the one most popularly used in the region. I am aware that the same species do have other names elsewhere, but I could not use them all. Therefore, the book has an appendix which gives the botanical and equivalent local names of as wide a variety of forest flora as possible. If the botanical nae is occasionally outdated, please bear with me, because scientists seem to change names with bewildering frequency. For example, Eugenia jambolana is suddenly altered to Syzgium cuminii, but both are the common Jamun.
The opinions expressed in this book are my own and, naturally, are based on my limited experiences and personal prejudices, likes and dislikes. Therefore, those who disagree with me may sling their brickbats in my direction and spare the Madhya Pradesh Government and M.P. Madhyam, who are the progenitors of this book. They are not to blame for my follies.
