19. Some New Species of Plants from Behar 
and Orissa. 
By H. H. Harnzs. 
(With Plates [IX—XI.) 
During my tours in the fe aie et of Behar and Orissa I 
have been studying the flora as far as more pressing duties 
have permitted. Among a neice large number of plants not 
previously recorded from that province, certainly not less than 
a hundred and possibly a great many more, I have found a few 
which appear not to have been hitherto described and from 
among these I have selected a dozen and given aed ppl 
tions below. They have been named by me as follow. 
Hypericum Gaitii. 
Agiaia Haslettiana. 
Atylosia cajanifolia. 
Mucuna minima. 
Jussieu fissendocarpa. 
Pimpinella bracteata. 
Ligusticum alboalatum. 
Melothria zehnerioides. 
Oldenlandia arenaria. 
Lobelia aligera. 
Thesium unicaule. 
ragia Gaget. 
The Hypericum is a very handsome plant and was obtained 
from the high plateau on which Neterhat is nae Neter- 
hat is getting to be well known to many people in Bihar and 
Orissa who have been enabled by Sir Bawstd Gait, a fellow of 
this Society, to spend part of the hot weather in its cool 
breezes, and I have thought it appropriate to name this species 
after him. It is closely allied to and intermediate between 
Hypericum cernuum an Hypericum mysorensis, a Himalayan 
and South Indian mountain species respectively, but unless 
these two species are united it is also necessary ‘to keep the 
Neterhat species distinct. The little Lobelia, the two Umbel- 
lifers and the interesting little Thesiwm are also from the 
plateau. A third Umbellifer, tentatively called by me Carum 
villosum, may be a variety of Wallich’s Carum “anethifolium 
ce nile of other inferential plants.
