VEGETATION OF THE HILLS. 



Chap. XXVII. 



MAHABALESHWUR HILLS. 



I observed a Memecylon, called by the natives anjun, a me- 

 lastomaceous tree, with beautiful purple flowers;^ a small 

 Crotalaria, with a bright yellow flower ; a Jasminum ; an 

 Indigofera ; the Eugenia Jambolanum ; the pretty creeping 

 Clematis Wightiana ; some willows near streams ; a Solanum ; 

 and the Curcuma cauHna, a kind of arro^vroot, with enor- 

 mous leaves, sometimes tinged with red,*^ in flower during the 

 rains.''
