Abstract


Adyar is an enkanting place. One main reason for this is undoubtedly to be found in the exuberant vegetation which consists of different kinds of assorted plants, partly indigenous and partly introduced, both combined into a beautiful mosaic by nature as well as by design in which may be seen the work of the Hidden Artist. The rich and varied flora consisting of over two hundred and fifty species excluding the potted ornamentals, and belonging to various genera and families is well worth study by a trained botanist. Herbs, shrubs and climbers: trees large and small, evergreen and deciduous; palms and bamboos; grasses and weeds and the humble denizens of the pond, meet the eye at different levels and form an effective scenery of considerable beauty.
