A species demanding less rain than most of the others ; met with along 
the Himalaya towards the west as far as the Kashmir Valley, and 
found also on the Salt Range; eastwards, as far as is known, its 
distribution terminates in Sikkim; southwards it occurs on hill 
crests as far as the Nilgiri Range; and it has once been recorded 
from the Khasia Hills. It is common within the area of this flora, 
especially in Dehra Dun and on the Siwalik range, also in N. Oudh, 
Bandelkhand and in the Mirzapur district.—Vern. Turhur, toree.
