 Wight & Arn. Prodr. 167. Similar, but racemes, branchlets, and young leaves

P. 95. The shrub mentioned as Paliurus aculeatus in the Bussahir Forest 

 Report, p. 63 Vern. Thum, upper limit in Kunawar at Javi is Sageretia 

 theesans, Brongn. Paliurus is a shrub similar to Zizyphus, but fruit with a 

 broad orbicular membranous wing 1 in. diani., of the Mediterranean region, 

 common in Palestine, found east as far as Armenia, Kurdistan, and North

P. 96. S. Kurz informs me that the common Ventilago of Burma is V. caly- 

 culata. 



P. 99. E. Regel, in a late paper on the American, Chinese, and Japanese 

 species of Vitis, unites V. parvifolia, Roxb., with V. vulpina, Linn., and V. 

 lanata, Roxb., with V. Labrusca, Linn. V. vulpina and Labrusca inhabit 

 North America and Japan. In the same paper he advances the opinion, that 

 V. vinifera is no original species at all, but the product of long-continued cul- 

 tivation of the two last-named species. It is true that the grape-vine agrees 

 with them as well as with V. parvifolia and lanata, in pentamerous flowers 

 and petals cohering at the apex ; but its cultivation commenced in Western 

 Asia, and neither V. lanata nor parvifolia, nor any of the forms of V. Labrusca 

 and vulpina, have, as far as I am aware, been found in Western Asia.
