Vol. V, No. 3.] On Cymbopogon Martini, Stapf. 93

W. Forbes, I found a large sheet of another intermediate, not 
mixed with the two parents, which, however, grow I believe 
not very far away. 
I think that it must be accepted that Motia and Sofia pro- 
aes hybrids ; but there is yet a great deal to find out snout 
and I do not desire to describe them now, chiefly because 
I think that there are yet other varieties of Cymbopogon Martini 
to be omnes by study. 
and Sofia a0 not differ in the flowers, nor in the in- 
orescence, ee in the anatomy of the leaves, except in so far 
as already 
The pone difference between the two is the chemical 
one of the absence or presence of carvon, and this accompanies 
Shae for slightly diverts climatic conditions. For the 
Melghat the difference in the position of the leaves (as figured) 
is Reteccoty to rely on. The breadth of the leaves is locally 
fairly constant, but is a consequence of the suitability or un- 
aetna es of any sie i hill side for the one variety or the

906, pp. 297-363), he was forced .6 content himself with merely

usefully recorded. 
In my work last year I received and gratefully acknowledge, 
the pa assistance from Mr. C. G. Rogers, Conservator of 
Forests, Berar, and also from Mr. D. O. Witt and Mr. H. E. 
Bartlett of the Forest Service. Without their help I should 
not have been able to do as much as I have done. ave fur- 
ther to thank Messrs. Schimmel and Co. for the kind way in 
which they received and reported on my specimens.
