Northern Baluchistan : 8, Sept. 29, 30, 1884. Native name Chirko. This plant grows 
in almost pure sand, on the sand-hills of the Baluchistan desert ; and notwithstanding 
its extremely long roots, the wind, owing to the quantity of its foliage, lifts it out of the 
sand, and it is to be seen rolling in collected masses all over the flat clayey plains.

Northern Baluchistan: 15, Sept. 29, Oct. 3, 4, 1884; Hari-rud valley: 301, April 21, 
1885 ; 326, April 27, 1885; Khorasan: August 21, 1885. Native names: Ta-ghaz, Tar- 
gaz, Tar, Tahg, Takk, Saz-aol. A small tree or shrub, reaching 14 feet in height, with 
extremely heavy coarse wood. It is local, although its area extends from the sand hills 
of Baluchistan, where it is found in great luxuriance, to the banks of the Hari-rud river, 
and in Khorasan. The Baluchi name, Tar-gaz, is applied to it in allusion to the vivid 
green of its young branches, which are pendulous, and to its general likeness to a Tama- 
risk. The wood is excellent fuel; and from it is extracted a green dye, Shakhai-i-tahg. 
I measured the trunk of one specimen at Toman-agha, and it was 12 feet in circum- 
ference at its thickest, but branched very low down; and I do not think the whole tree 
was more than fourteen feet high.
