No. XLVI.— A FEW ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF MUSSOORIE 

 PLANTS BY JAMES MARTEN IN VOL. XIX, p. 475. 



I collected a few plants while on a short visit to Mussoorie in May and 

 early June 1918 and find the following not in the above mentioned list. 

 My specimens where I was not absolutely certain of them were very kindly 

 identified for me at the Royal Botanic Garden, Sibpur. In several cases 

 I see I have found an early flowering species while others of the same genus 

 in Marten's list flower in the rains and autumn.

Common in damp meadows at the Park and 

 Brewery ; at their best during the first half of 

 May.

 of May, but the bursting of the seedpods is the 

 most interesting thing about them.
