Hari-rud valley: 1015, May 9, 1885. Our plant is identical with no. 1255 of the 
Karelin and Kiriloff collection in the Kew Herbarium, which, in my opinion, is distinct, 
as a species, from С. levigata.

one to two feet high, аге thrown up, forming a thick, close bush, conspicuous from the

1885, July 30, 1885. Native name, Kha-warg. Опе of the few shrubs which extends from 
Northern Baluchistan, along the Helmand and the Hari-rud valley, to Bala-morghab 
and in Khorasan. Over all this country it grows in the open, and is a pest to the culti- 
vator, as it seems to prefer cultivated fields. Оп the banks of the Helmand it grew very 
like a Bramble, and was often seen as a large scrambling bush six feet in height. The 
natives eat the fruit, and camels are very fond of browsing on the branches.
