Pomacese, but four species of Cotoneaster were known to us. Since 

 that time the genus has increased to twelve, chiefly by the discoveries 

 of Dr. Wallich, of whose materials we have been most liberally 

 allowed the use, and by whose permission the following account, as 

 far as the Indian species of that distinguished Naturalist are con- 

 cerned, is published. Want of space prevents our speaking in detail 

 of the species; but the succeeding enumeration, with amended cha- 

 racters of such as require them, will, we doubt not, be acceptable to 

 the scientific world. 



§ Folia decidua. 



1. C. vulgaris. Lindley. 



2. C. tomentosa. Lindley. 



3. C. melanocarpa. Fischer. 



Perhaps a mere variety of C. vulgaris. 



4. C. laxijiora. Jacquin in litteris. 



C. cymis multifloris compositis glabris, foliis ovalibus utrinque obtusis 

 subtus lanatis deciduis. 



5. C. affinis. Lindley. 



C. cymis multifloris ramulisque novellis lanuginosis, foliis ovatis 

 obovatisve subtils tomentosis deciduis, caule fruticoso. 

 Hab. in montibus NipalicB et Sermore. 



6. C. frigida. Wallich in hoc loco. 



7. C. obtusa. Wall. ined. 



C. cymis multifloris congestis ramulisque glabris, foliis ovatis ob- 

 ovatisve subti\s glabris deciduis. 

 Hab. in Kamoon et Nipal montibus, Himalayam versi\s. 



8. C. bacillaris. Wall. ined. 



C. cymis multifloris divaricatis ramulisque pilosis, foliis obovatis in 

 petiolo acuminatis subtus glabris deciduis. 

 Hab. in Kamoon. 



9. C. acuminata. Lindley. 



C. pedunculis subtrifloris pubescentibus, foliis ovatis acuminatis 

 pubescentibus deciduis. 

 Hab. in Nipalice montibus. 



§ § Folia sempervirentia. 



10. C. rotundifolia. Wall, in Museo Ccetds Anglicee Indise orientalis. 



C. pedunculis subunifloris, foliis subrotundis subtiis pilosis semper- 



virentibus. 

 C. microphylla; iiar. Uva Ursi. Lindl. in hot. reg.fol. 1187. 

 Hab. in Gossain Than. 



Native specimens have convinced us that this is a distinct species 

 from C. microphylla. 



11. C. microphylla. Wall, in bot. reg. fol. 1114. 



C. pedunculis subunifloris, foliis oblongis cuncatis subtus pubescenti- 

 bus sempervirenfibus. 

 Hab. in Gossain Than. 



12. C. buxifolia. Wall. ined. 



C. pedunculis trifloris lanuginosis, foliis ovatis subtCis lanuginosis 

 sempervirentibus. 

 Hab. in Jugo Neelghiry dicto, ubi legit dom. Noton. 



This last is no doubt the plant spoken of by M. Decandolle in 

 his Prodromus, under C. affinis, as coming from the Neelghiry, 

 with leaves only a line long. J. L.
