Trifulium reptns. 



ladigofera atropur- 

 purea. 



Anfragalus leucooe' 

 phalus. 



The wood is very pretty, being of a bright yellow 

 with brown veins ; it makes very pretty picture 

 frames. 



Is not, so far as my knowledge goes, found in the 

 immediate vicinity of Mussooiie, but I have ccme 

 across it in the Aglar Valley and along it to its junc- 

 tion with the Jumna River, 



This handsome tree was once very plentiful near 

 villages on the lower hills about Mussoorie and 

 across the Song River opposite Rajpur, but unfor- 

 tunately owing to its value as a charcoal wood it is 

 now all but extinct. 



It is far and away the prettiest of our Indian 

 woods. The heart wood is beautifully mottled with 

 yellow and brown streaks, is hard and durable and 

 takes a high polish. 



The tree produces horn shaped galls which are 

 collected and sold in the bazaars under the name of 

 " Kakar singi." 



Found on the lower slopes ; flowers during March 

 and April. A handsome spreading tree, the branches 

 are extensively lopped for fodder and from incisions 

 on the trunk a gum used by dyers exudes and is 

 collected and sold. 



Cummon at Mussoorie ; flowers April ; fruit ripens 

 in June ; is eaten by the hill people. 



The wood is very hard, of a grey colour and often 

 beautifully mottled and makes pretty frames. 



I have found both near cultivation below Mussoorie ; 

 flower during the rainy season. 



Clover. Very common; flowers in rains and well into 

 Autumn, 



Is the commonest of the wild Indigo species up 

 here. It flowers during June and July, the flower 

 buds which are subacid are plucked and eaten by 

 the natives. 



Common on the south face of the hills. Flo were in 

 May waen it looks very pretty with its pale yellow 

 flowers lying against the silvery white leaflets.
