COLLECTED IN SIKKIM. 461 
The following trees and shrubs are not in Gamble’s list, but those 
marked * were collected outside the district covered by that list :— 
Berberis Wallichiana; Skimmia melanocarpa and Skimmia Wallichii (pro- 
bably lumped together in the list as ©. Laureola) ; Acer pectinatum, Wall. 
(also lumped ?); Erythrina stricta (perhaps planted) ; Cassia levigata (ditto) ; 
Pyrus Hedlundi (lumped with P. lanata, D. Don?) ; * Vitis Hookeri ; Jas- 
minum undulatum ; Vallaris Heynei ; Gaultheria pyrolæfolia ; Bassia latifolia 5 
Rhododendron campanulatum ; Mæsa argentea ; Glochidion khasicum, of which, 
curiously enough, there is a specimen at Kew collected by Mr. Gamble at 
the same spot as my own and labelled by him 6. khasicum ; * Euonymus 
scandens ; *Gymnosporia тија ; * Vitis lanata var. glabra ; *Sabia campanu- 
lata ; * Spondias axillaris ; * Randia tetrasperma ; Symplocos pyrifolia (but this 
is given in the first edition of the list) ; Machilus Clarkeana (perhaps lumped 
with M. Gammieana). 
I have thought to suit the convenience of Indian botanists by adopting, 
with very few exceptions, the sequence and nomenclature of the * Flora of 
British India’ for Phanerogame. For the ferns I have, for the same reason, 
followed Beddome’s ‘ Handbook to the Ferns of British India,’ only in some 
instances preferring Clarke’s ‘ Review of the Ferns of Northern India,’ or 
adopting С. Christensen’s name when Beddome’s or Clarke’s is obviously 
untenable. Any other course would have involved more time and study than 
the compilation of such a list can justify. 
Finally, I must express my thanks to the botanists who have so kindly 
helped me in the determination of my plants. First and foremost to 
Mr. Cave, of the Loyd Botanic Garden at Darjiling, who provided an 
admirable Lepcha collector always active and good-tempered, and helped me 
to find my way among so many genera that were strange. Then to the 
members of the staff of the Herbarium at Kew; nearly all of them, with 
their never failing courtesy, have helped me with one species or other. Also 
to Major Gage and Mr. C. C. Calder, and particularly to Mr. Gamble, who 
has looked over the Laurineæ, the Skimmias and some others. Dr. Brand 
has kindly revised the Symplocos and Dr. W. Becker has named the то.
