specimens of it to England. Mr. Royle informs us that it 

 common in the Himalayas, at elevations of from 5000 to 



N. lat. The hill people call the plant 



7000 fe 



in 



Juwa, and occasionally eat the fruit 



It proves tolerably hardy, flowering in May; and will 

 doubtless increase by layers, like the Lantana itself. 



Among wild specimens under the name of V. poly- 



carpon, for which we 



indebted to the 



ty of 



Honourable Court of Directors of the East India Company 



are two brand 



one in fl 



and the other in fruit 



which are identical with the plant now figured, and a third 

 which, although resembling the others in many respects, has 

 the leaves on their upper surface downy, even when the 

 plant is in fruit, and much smaller, scarcely at all cordate 



base, with a few slight toothings at the margin 



appears to be only a variety ; but it deserves to be recorded
