(1) Nunklow, Khasya; Dr. Hooker; 10 July, 1850, at 

 3,000 ft. to 4,000 ft.; No. 1,594 Herb. Hooker; from 

 Dr. J. D. Hooker; 15 Jan,, 1859. "Compared 

 with LinnsBUs' specimens of A. Schwiuiuthus by Dr. 

 Hooker and myself, 20 Jan., 1859." A label, appa- 

 rently in Munro's writing, states : " I am sorry I 

 cannot coincide with this identification. No. 1 is 

 not A. Schamanthus, L., it is A. citriodcnis, D. C ; A. 

 Sclmnanthus, Wall, non Linn." No. 2 is Andropogon 

 Khasiamis, Munro; distinguished by the numerous 

 nerves to the lower glumes. [The taste of No. 2 

 certainly more nearly resembles that of Khumimm 

 than that of the ginger grass oil plant]. 

 n. Leafy stem and flowers (two specimens).
