Besides the above species I have found abundance of Sir J. E. Smith's R. e/atior in Nipal, of which I will add an 
account. Whether one of the two other spiked species recorded by that immortal botanist ought not to be reduced 
to this last as a variety, I am at present unable to determine.

Having given a detailed account of this species of Camellia in the Asiatic Researches, I shall only remark here, that 
I found this charming shrub in abundance on the mountains surrounding the valley of Nipal. I am acquainted with 
one, perhaps two, new species, both of them natives of the mountains bordering on the district of Sillet, one of which 
may be designated in the following manner :— 
Camellia caudata (Cat. Herbar. Ampl. Procur. Britan. Ind. Orient. n. 978.), foliis lanceolatis 
* . . M . . . . . . . . . . . .
