Distrib. Palearetica. Japan. Java. Nearctica. Neo-

No example from British India has been seen, except Wallich 
3487 part. The manner in which the Wallichian collections 
were mixed before the numbers were affixed renders the Wal- 
lichian herbarium unless supported very unsatisfactory authority 
for localities. The distribution, however, of /. ovata, R. Br., 
from Russia and Asia Minor, by the Caucasus and Dahuria to 
Amurland and Japan, renders it probable that it has been, or will 
be, collected in the Himalava; and it was therefore included in 
the * Flora of British India.’
