692. Cannabis sativa, L. 



Kuram district and Shalizan, common. Is known by the natives 

 to yield an intoxicating drug, though not employed by them. 

 June. 



364. Moras alba, L. 



A cultivated tree in and near all gardens &c. in the Kuram 

 district from Thai westward. I do not think I ever saw it in 

 the Kuram district indigenous, but I may have overlooked it. 



345, 13. Ficus caricoides, Roxb. = virgata, Roxb. 



A small tree, or large shrub from Alizai to the Kuram district 

 up to 6000 feet, usually near cultivation ; April. Not seen in 

 Hariab. 

 305. F. Carica, L. 



Most probably an escape from cultivation. Sides of water- 

 courses and fields near the shelter of trees &c. ; May. 



223. Urtica dioica, L. 



Habibkalla; June. 



458. U. dioica, L., var. 

 Shendtoi ; May. 



1204, 1205, 1206, 716. U. dioica, L.,var. 



543. Parietaria debilis, Forst. 



In clefts of rocks at Alikhel and Hariab district ; not seen in 

 Kuram ; June. 

 542. P. officinalis, L. 



In rocks, common, Kuram and Hariab districts ; June. 



70. Platakace.e. 



50, 259. Platanus orientalis, L. 



Not indigenous, but largely cultivated from Hazarpirziarat 

 through the whole Kuram district. Only in one locality near Sha- 

 lizan can I say it is naturalized, and, curiously enough, it is work- 

 ing up hill, where several trees of various sizes, mostly with very 

 short trunks and stunted branches, may be seen. I noticed a 

 similar fact in Kashmir on the western aspect of the Takht i Sii- 

 liman. In neither instance are there any signs of cultivation or 

 of irrigation near where these higher trees are growing, nor could 

 there ever have been, on account of the precipitous nature of the 

 country.
