Pomacez, but four species of Cotoneaster were known to us. Since 
that time the genus has increased to twelve, chiefly by the discoveries 
of Dr. Wallich, of whose materials we have been most liberally 
allowed the use, and by whose permission the following account, as 
far as the Indian species of that distinguished Naturalist are con- 
cerned, is.published. Want of space prevents our speaking in detail 
of the species; but the succeeding enumeration, with amended cha- 
racters of such as require them, will, we doubt not, be acceptable to 
the scientific world. 
& Folia decidua. 
1. C. vulgaris. Lindley. 
2. C. tomentosa. Lindley. 
3. C. melanocarpa. Fischer. 
Perhaps a mere variety of C. vulgaris. 
4. C. laxiflora. Jacquin in litteris. 
C. cymis multifloris compositis glabris, foliis ovalibus utrinque obtusis 
subtùs lanatis deciduis. 
5. C. affinis. Lindley. 
C. cymis multifloris ramulisque novellis lanuginosis, foliis ovatis 
obovatisve subtüs tomentosis deciduis, caule fruticoso. 
Hab. in montibus Nipalie et Sermore. 
6. C. frigida. Wallich in hoc loco. 
7. C. obtusa, Wall. ined. 
C. cymis multifloris congestis ramulisque glabris, foliis ovatis ob- 
ovatisve subtüs glabris deciduis. 
Hab. in Kamoon et Nipal montibus, Himalayam versüs. 
8. C. bacillaris. Wall. ined. 
C. cymis multifloris divaricatis ramulisque pilosis, foliis obovatis in 
petiolo acuminatis subtüs glabris deciduis. 
Hab. in Kamoon. 
9. C. acuminata. Lindley. 
C. pedunculis subtrifloris pubescentibus, foliis ovatis acuminatis 
pubescentibus deciduis. 
Hab. in Nipalie montibus. 
$ $ Folia sempervirentia. 
10. C. rotundifolia. Wall. in Museo Coetús Anglice Indie orientalis. 
C. pedunculis subunifloris, foliis subrotundis subtüs pilosis semper- 
virentibus, 
C. microphylla; var. Uva Ursi. Lindl. in bot. reg. fol. 1187. 
Hab. in Gossain Than. 
Native specimens have convinced us that this is a distinct species 
from C. microphylla. 
11. C. microphylla. Wall. in bot. reg. fol. 1114. 
C. pedunculis subunifloris, foliis oblongis cuneatis subtüs pubescenti- 
bus sempervirentibus. 
Hab. in Gossain Than. 
12. C. buxifolia. Wall. ined. 
C. pedunculis trifloris lanuginosis, foliis ovatis subtüs lanuginosis 
sempervirentibus. 
Hab. in Jugo Neelghiry dicto, ubi legit dom. Noton. 
This last is no doubt the plant spoken of by M. Decandolle in 
his Prodromus, under C. affinis, as coming from the Neelghiry, 
with leaves only a line long.
