Plentiful. This is the common Thalictrum with large blue 

 flowers and compressed falcate fruit-carpels ; but it does not fit 

 the description in the Kew Flora at all well : the stems are often 

 40-flowered instead of 2-8-flowered as stated : there are often 

 16 flowers on one branch even. Also the leaves are pubescent 

 beneath, the anthers not mucronate. 



Ranunculus diffusus, DC. 9000-10,000 ped. alt. 

 Aconitum palmatum, Don. 10,000 ped. alt. 



In quantity. 



Dr. Hooker mentions Ranunculaceae as conspicuously absent 

 on Tonglo: this can hardly be said. 



Papaverace-b. 



Meconopsis robusta, Hook.f. et Th. On Tonglo at 10,000 ped. alt. 



The flowers are a very pale cold blue, thin in texture. The 

 whole plant is softly pilose and also covered with scattered golden 

 rough set©. 



FlTMARIACE.^. 



Dicentra thalictrifolia, Hk. f. et Th. 7000-10,000 ped. alt. 



Very common. 



Corydalis sibirica, Pers, On Tonglo top at 10,000 ped. alt. 

 C. ch^rophylla, DC. 9000-10,000 ped. alt. 



Abundant. 



These Fumariads are in great quantity on Tonglo ; and I sup- 

 pose that when Dr. Hooker says Fumariaceae are conspicuously 

 absent from Tonglo, this statement must be narrowed to the 

 month of May. 



Berberidace-e. 



Holbcellia latifolia, Wallich. 7000-10,000 ped. alt. 



Common. 



Berberis aristata, DC. Tonglo top at 10,000 ped. alt. 



Vitaoe^. 



VlTIS TENUIFOLIA, W. Sf A. 



I collected at 9000 ped. alt. 



V. capriolata, Don. 7000-8000 ped. alt. 



Common. 



These were the only two vines I collected ; there are others, 

 now (Sept.) turned red, which decorate the trees. There is one
