184 MR. M. P. EDGEWORTH —FLORULA. MALLICA. 
Brassica Rapa, L. Extensively cultivated. The roots sliced and dried in 
the sun. 
—— Stocksii, H.f. & T. I have only rarely observed this accidentally 
in fields : not cultivated. 
—— Eruca, L. Much cultivated for its oil. 
—— (Sinapis) campestris, L. Cult. ** Sarson." 
—— juncea, L. Cult. * Rai." These native names have been accidentally 
transposed in the paper in the Linn. Journ. v. pp. 169, 170. 
Goldbachia lzvigata, DC. Corn-fields, only towards the north-west. 
Dipterygium glaucum, Den, Fl. Sinaica. Sand-hills to the south. 
Raphanus sativus, L. Cult. The siliques boiled as a pot-herb—not the 
root. 
RESEDACEX. 
Oligomeris glaucescens, Den. Jacqt. t. 25 (Reseda oligandra, J. A. S. vii. 
p. 764). 
CAPPARIDEA. 
Capparis spinosa (obovata, Royle), Jacqt.t. 21. I find no description of 
the dehiscence of the fruit in any European Flora. It is noted by 
Decaisne in Jaequemont. When ripe the skin separates and curls up 
in three or four segments like a Martagon, showing the seeds immersed 
in crimson pulp. It is found abundantly at Multan, but not in the next 
region northward, and appears again in the confined valleys of the 
Sutluj, Beyas, &c., as far as the Indus at Iskardo. The fruit is 
pickled by the natives. I preserved the buds in the European style 
and found them first-rate. 
— decidua (Sodada, Forsk.) (aphylla, Roxb.). Most abundant: much 
used for firing, as it burns with a gaseous flame. The largest indi- 
vidual I have observed was near Chichawatni, at Jhangbiabani, 8 feet 
in girth. 
Crateva Roxburghii. Gardens. 
Cadaba Indica. Rocks at Chandniot. 
Cleome papillosa (C. gracilis, Edgew. J. A. S.). 
—— brachycarpa, DC. (C. Ruta, Den. in Jacquemont, t. 19). 
Polanisia viscosa. Fields. 
Gynandropsis pentaphylla. Fields, and in the desert. Eaten as a vege- 
table. (Gandhili, Ind.) 
POLYGALACES. 
Polygala (Blepharidium) erioptera, DC.—See note, p. 199. 
ELATINACEE. 
Lancretia zestivosa, W. A. The flowers are as often twin as solitary. The 
carpels are very often destroyed by a small Cerambyx. 
Bergia ammannioides.
