_ Hab. This species was found at Lippa, in Kunawur, and on the Kherung Pass,by Mr. Inglis. It was 
originally sent to Dr.Wallich by Captain Webb, from Kemaon. It approaches Rosa spinosissima, but 
differs in the want of set, and in a tendency to convert the upper leaves into true bractes ; also in the 
dark colour of its stem contrasting so strongly with the white thorns. 
64, GRANATEZ. 
This order, consists of but a single genus, Punica, of which the pomegranate, the 
only species, has been known from the earliest period as one of the valuable products 
of Western Asia, whence it has extended into the south of Europe, and may now be 
found from thence to India, as well as in the northern parts of Africa. Lieut. Burnes 
describes the pomegranates as forming quite a wood in Mazenderan, whence the dried 
seeds are exported for medicinal use; and mentions that the famous pomegranates 
without seeds are grown in the rich gardens, called Balabagh, lying under the snowy 
hills near the Caubul river. Mr. Forster describes them as delicious about Hadgiabad, 
as they are indeed in most parts of Persia, Journ. p.169. Though grown in most 
parts of India, large quantities of a superior quality are yearly brought down by the 
northern merchants from Caubul, Cashmere, and Boodurwar. Punica might be retained 
in Myrtacee. | 
In the Himalayas the pomegranate may be seen growing wild and also near villages. 
The fruit, though small, is brought down for sale to Saharunpore ; it is called darmee ; 
and the rind naspal, being very astringent, is used in medicine, as well as in dyeing. 
The employment by the natives of India of the bark of the root for the expulsion of 
tape-worm being now well known, since the subject was communicated by Drs. 
Hamilton and Fleming, is a remarkable instance of the oblivion into which even a 
valuable medicine may fall, as this property was well known to Dioscorides. 1, c. 154, 
The natives give buloositon and reoman as the Greek names of the Pomegranate.
