 laya as far as Khatmandu and Naiakot, the furthest point 

 being 35 miles in a straight line from the skirt of the plains, and 

 the highest point not above 7000 feet. The Vegetation is much 

 more like that of the Sikkim Himalaya than tliat of the North- 

 Western Himala^'a, but features occur such as forests of Pinus 

 longifolia, abundance of Rosa, presence of Hex excelsa, Cornus 

 oblonga, Osyn's arborea, Randia tetvaspevnta and Prinsepia utilis
