160 SURG.-MAJ. J. E. T. AITCHISON ON THE FLORA OF 
that of a different section. Its position in Boissler's sequence 
of species will be next to Onobrychis radiata, Bieb. 
Hariáb distriet, on the artificially raised hillocks around the 
margins of fields, at an altitude of 7500 feet; very common. 
591 (1879). Vicia hyrcanica, Fisch. $ Mey. 
Near Karchátal in the Hariáb district; a weed on cultivated 
land. 
It has large yellow solitary flowers, usually not sessile, and a 
flattish broad pod like that of Pisum sativum. Distributed along 
with and named F. sativa, Linn., under no. 591 (1879). 
87. Pisum sativum, Linn. 
Cultivated as a field-crop in the Kuram and Hariáb districts. 
473. Phaseolus Mungo, Linn. 
Extensively cultivated as a field-crop from Thal to Kuram, 
and generally so in the Kuram district. 
538. Rhynchosia aurea, DC. 
From Thal to Chaprí, in hot, dry, stony localities; September. 
516. R. minima, DC. 
From Thal to Mandüri, under 3000 feet. It spreads densely 
over the surface of the bushes to which it clings, so much so 
as to completely hide its support. 
517. Dalbergia Sissoo, Rozb. 
From Thal to Badish-khél; occurs as an indigenous timber-tree 
along the banks of the Koso river and its bibu up to 
nearly 8000 feet. 
I have seen it cultivated, but more frequently as a protected self- 
sown tree at shrines Ee, 
Rosacex, 
Spiræa brahuica, Boiss. 
50, 67. Large-flowered. 
144, 248. Small-flowered. 
Some of my specimens were taken from much more vigorous 
planis than those upon which the species was founded. Grow- 
ing in a more humid climate and under shade, the plant is spine- 
less, and the leaves and flowers are much larger than in the 
type, the latter being in some cases at least balf an inch in dia- 
meter. My specimens from the open, dry, stony country possess 
the small flowers and leaves, with the extremely contorted, 
spinous branches of the type. 
In my distribution of 1879 the two forms were mixed.
