Leguminosae. ] THE HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS. 189 
feet, another of this tribe is found, which is well known from having become perfectly 
naturalized in English gardens. This is Anagyris nepalensis, which has also. been 
referred to Baptisia and Thermopsis, as well as to Virgilia and Podalyria; so that it 
would not appear very closely allied to any, and render eligible the adoption of the 
genus Piptanthus, made for it by Mr. Salisbury. The success attending the introduction 
of this into English gardens, would seem to insure that of many others from the same 
altitude, and especially of the still more ornamental plant of the same tribe Thermopsis 
(Anagyris? Wall. 5341) barbata, “ superb sort of lupine” of Mr. Fraser, (Himal., Mount. 
p. 159), figured at t. 33. fig. 1, where may be Seen only one of the numerous annual flower- 
stalks which arise from one root. This being sunk in the ground, is protected from the 
great vicissitudes of temperature, and would therefore be independent of the numerous 
changes of an English spring. I met with it on Urrukta and Kedarkanta, and have 
received it from Doda on the road to Cashmere, as well from, Shalkur in Hungarung. 
It was gathered by Mr. Inglis on the Broang Pass. 
The plants of this tribe, though in general highly ornamental, are not remarkable for 
any useful properties, with the exception of Myrospermum peruiferum, pubescens, and 
Toluifera, the balsams of Peru and Tolu trees, which, however, are anomalous in their 
characters as in their properties, and therefore Dr. Lindley proposes to remove them 
from this order, and place them in or near Amyridee, to which they are allied. For 
the cultivation of these, suitable localities might probably be found in Travancore ; 
perhaps also in Silhet. — 
The remainder of the family of Papilionacee are very generally diffused over every 
part of India, both in the mountains and the plains, though the same tribes do not 
affect these two very different localities. For in the latter, with the genera Heylandia, 
Crotalaria, and Rothia, of the tribe Geniste, we have of Clitoriee, Psoralea, Indigofera, 
Clitoria, Pueraria, and Glycine ; of Galegea, Tephrosia, Agati, and Sesbania ; of Hedy- 
saree, Zornia, Aschynomone, Smithia, Uraria, Desmodium, Dicerma, Flemingia, Alhagi, 
and Alysicarpus ; of Phaseolee, Abrus, Rhynchosia, Phaseolus, Dolichos, Lablab, Psopho- 
carpus, Canavalia, Mucuna, Cantharospermum, Cajanus, Erythrina, and Butea; and of 
Dalbergiee, Pongamia, Dalbergia, and Pterocarpus. Some genera are entirely confined 
to the Peninsula, as Pycnospora,. Stylosanthes, Lourea, Eleiotis, Nomismia, Soja, and 
Cylista, with some new genera, which have been formed by Messrs. Wight and Arnott. 
Of some of the above genera, a few species extend into the mountains as high as 6,000 
or 7,000 feet of elevation, as we have seen to be the case with species of other tropical 
genera; the annuals, or those with annual stems, are, however, found chiefly in the 
rainy season. Of these may be enumerated species of Indigofera, Smithia, Uraria, Des- 
modium, Flemingia, Pyrrhotrichia, Cyrtotropis, Phaseolus, Parochetus, and Cajanus. 
In the mountains, including this general term, both the northern and southern face 
of the Himalayas, we have of Genistee, species of the genera Cytisus, and Ononis ;—of 
Trifolice: Medicago, Trifolium, Trigonella, Melilotus, Lotus, and Podolotus ;—of Galegee : 
Caragana, and Colutea ;—of Astragalee: Astragalus, Orytropis, and Guldenstadtia ;—ot
