Commonly kno'wu as the bug or ttea plant ; very 

 common ; flowers in August. 



Called by the natives " Tej-bal." The wood which 

 is armed with strong blunt prickles is extensively 

 used for walking sticks, also for other ornamental 

 purposes, ex. gr , picture frames, the edgings of brack- 

 ets, tea trays, &c. 



Common in warm valleys ; tlie aromatic leaves are 

 used as a condiment and are sold in the bazaars under 

 the name of " Kdri-p^t," 



In most of the warmer parts. Flowers May to June. 



The common Himalayan holly, flowers April, May 

 and June, fruit ripens in October and November. 



Common in waste lands and near villages. The 

 fruit is subacid and is eaten. 



A very common extensive climber ; the foliage 

 turns red in the autumn and lends a rich colouring 

 to that of the tree it grows upon. 



Grows on rocks and trees, flowers April. 



Abundant ; flowers about April, fruit ripens during 

 October. The wood is used by turners and is made 

 into cups, vases, platters, &c. 



In Chamba the fruit is soaked for several days, the 

 husk removed and the embryo thus removed of its 

 bitter principle is ground and mixed with flour for 

 food. It is considered a relish by the hill people. 



Is the only maple I have found at Mussoorie in 

 flower in March, the winged fruit remains long on 

 the tree. 



Occurs in most valleys ; it blooms March and April, 

 when one may see its panicles of pretty purple 

 flowers hawked about the Mall for sale.
