The earlier volume, 1A, covered several taxa of Phanerogams and one of Bryophyte. A concurrent series (volume 2A, 2B and so on) cover the lower groups, represented by Algae, Fungi, Bryophytes and Lichens.

Of these, economic crops include coffee, coconut and papaya; medicinals cover Artemisia and Costus; fodder and agrx
