FURTHER NOTES ON THE FLORA OF NORTHERN 



GANJAM. 



By Cecil E. C. Fischer, i.f.s. 



(Continued from page 556 of Vol. XV.) 



The first note was compiled when expecting to leave the Ganjam 

 District for good early in 1 904 As my stay continued till the first 

 week of 1905, I was enabled to make further notes, and the following 

 supplemental list is the result. 



The list is, of course, even now incomplete, especially with regard to 

 the Cyperacece and Graminece. 



The most striking features in the flora are the large preponderance of 

 LeguminosecB (137 species), the comparative poverty in Orehidece 

 (6 species), and the entire absence of UmbelUferece, of which order I 

 failed to find a single species growing wild, 



I have practically omitted all oultivated species which are neither 

 truly wild nor escaped from cultivation. 



Appended is a list of corrections to the first note. I regret that one 

 or two errors in identification crept in. 



In conclusion, I wish to here express my acknowledgments of the 

 kind assistance and encouragement extended by Lt.-Ool. D. Prain, 

 I.M.S., F.LS., and Oapt. A. Gage, I.M.8., F.L.S.
