Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.

The 'Hortus Indicus Malabaricus' is a monumental 12-volume botanical work originally published in Latin between 1678 and 1693. Extensive searches of major library catalogs and scholarly databases confirm that while the work is frequently cited, analyzed, and discussed in English-language botanical and historical scholarship, no complete English translation of the entire work exists. Various partial translations, commentaries, and studies referencing specific plants or sections have been published over the centuries, but the work as a whole remains untranslated into English.
