+ The names of species extracted from Roxburgh’s Hortus 
Calcutensis, p- 42 and 92. but these are probably identical 
with some of those described above, viz. G. polýgama, pedicel- 
lata, lanceef dlia, Roxb. 
Cult. All the species of Gréwia thrive well in a mixture of 
loam and peat, and cuttings will root in sand, under a bell-glass ; 
those of the stove species in heat.
