NATURAL HISTORY. 



CATALOGUE. 



NOTE. — In {he first two columns, the nomenclature adopted for the first 51 orders, 

 exclu&ive of Order 33, " Loranthaceai" is that of Hooker's " Flora of British India" 

 Vols. I — IV, which do not include " Loranthaceos," or the Orders 52 — 78 repre- 

 sented in this catalogue. The synonyms given in the second column are the 

 names under which the plants are described in Dahell and Gibson's " Bombay, 

 Flora." Where no synonyms are given, the plants are described under the same 

 names in both Hooker and Dahell. In the third column, the names are spelt, for the 

 mostpart. according to the Hunterian system. The word " veV or u yel," which recure 

 frequently as a component part of a name, means a " creeper " or ' climber.'' The words 

 " lahan" and " dhakta" (fern. " dhakti") mean 'small,' "mota" Qfem. "moti") 

 means 'big, 1 lt pandhra " means ' white,' " kala," 'black' " tamra," 'red,' and " karu > 

 'bitter.' The prefix 1 il ran" indu ates a " jungle plant," or as we should say " a 

 wild plant," thoughall the plants in the list are of course wild or indigenous plants 

 on the hill, with the exception perhaps of the Jack-tree (Artocarpus integrifolia').
