found it, both in flower and in fruit. On the open grassy 
hills we saw several other herbaceous plants, such as Ane- 
mone Wightiana, Ranunculus cordatus, Dipsacus Leschenaultii, 
Wahlenbergia Indica, Bupleurum distichophyllum, Pimpinella 
Candolleana, and Leschenaultii, Valeriana Brunonis, and 
several species of Senecio and Gnaphalium. The shrubby 
plants which we met with in similar situations, were an 
undescribed species of Teucrium, allied to the T. tomentosum, 
abundance of Gaultheria Leschenaultii, Anaphalis Neelgherri- 
ana, Cotoneaster buxifolia, Hedyotis articularis, &c. In the 
woods which fill the hollows and ravines, we found some - 
that were in flower, besides those which I have already 
enumerated, such as an Euonymus, Microtropis ramiflora, 
Monocera ferruginea, Eugenia calophyllifolia, and a Celtis. 
At the summit I was rewarded with an old Scotch acquaint- 
ance, Prunella vulgaris, and Alchemilla Zeylanica, Moon, a — 
plant so nearly resembling the A. vulgaris of Europe, that it © 
has been considered as such by Dr. Arnott. Both Dr. — 
Wight and I, however, have satisfied ourselves from a 
comparison of it with British specimens, that they are 
essentially distinct. The rocky part of the summit was - 
gay with the large yellow corymbs of Kalanchoe grandiflora. — 
In clear weather a fine view is said to be obtained from T 
Dodabetta of the Coimbatore and Mysore countries, but — | 
we were prevented from enjoying it by a dense ocean of = 
clouds which lay spread out below us. 2d 
Our next excursion was to the Kaitie Waterfalls, about : 
seven miles from Ootacamund. By the way I collected fine — 
specimens of Rosa Leschenaultiana, and Clematis Wightiana. 
On dry banks, and in open grassy pastures, a beautiful little — 
Thyme-like plant (Micromeria biflora), grew in great pro- . 
fusion, as well as its taller and more shrubby allies - 
Leucas suffruticosa, helianthemifolia, and ternifolia. On — 
moist banks Impatiens Leschenaultii formed dense bushes, | 
from six to eight feet high, with a thick woody stem. This - 
is one of the most abundant of the many beautiful species of © 
the genus which inhabit the Neelgherries. Before reaching —
