By this enumeration it may be seen that there are five European 

 species also found in the East Indian Alps, viz. >S^ daphnoides^ 

 S. viminalis, S. Smithiana, S. Caprea, and S. hastata. But, with 

 the exception of S. hastata, all the others have been determined 

 upon a few and scarcely complete specimens. Of the rest, 

 S. hahylonica, S. dealbata, S. glaucophylla, and 8. sericocarpa truly 

 are allied to the species (^. acmophylla, S. bahylonica, and S. oc- 

 tandra) of Western Asia ; S. tetrasperma proves to be the form 

 most peculiar to the East Indies, where it offers a great variety 

 of interesting forms, quite as, in our own country, S. penfandra, 

 with which it is somewhat analogous. Helices, indeed, difier 

 from our species, although S. pycnostachya seems to belong to 

 the series of S. purpurea, and S. eriostachya to that of >S'. rubra. 

 Amongst Vetrices, the groups of S. daphnoides and S. viminalis 

 are each represented by three or four species ; and of Frigidce and 

 Olaciales, all seem to be peculiar to the Himalayan mountains.
