Dr. Francis Hamilton's Commentary, fyc. 



5. From the Morang hills specimens of the branches in leaf, 

 and of the bark of the root of a tree, were brought to me at 

 Nathpur. The former so much resembled those of the Bejolghota 

 before described, that I should have had no doubt of the two trees 

 being the same, had it not been for the bark of the root, which 

 strongly resembled that from Bhotan. It is remarkable, that the 

 top (apex) of every leaf in this as well as in the Bejolghota was 

 eaten off by insects. I call this by the native name 



Laurus Bazania, foliis triplinerviis utrinque acutis inodoris, cor- 



tice radicis aromatico. 

 Bajania montanorum. 

 Habitat in montibus Emodi superioribus prope Cosam fluvium. 



Cortex radicis fuscus fortius et grate odoratus, sapore cinnamo- 

 meo praeditus. Cortex ramorum et folia inodora insipida, 

 unde a Katou Carua certe diversa. Neque flores neque 

 fructus vidi.
