The Forests and Waste Lands of Ceylon. 363 



Rubus, Viburnum, Anaphalis, Lobelia, Campanula, Gentiana, Pedi- 

 tularis, Drosera, &c. Exceptions to this rule are Impatiens, of which 

 there are numerous species, some extremely handsome, Vaccinium 

 and Ilex, which all grow under shade. 



This concludes my sketch of the forest flora of Ceylon. It is 

 . a very incomplete one, but with a wealth of species to choose from it 

 is difficult not to omit a number of characteristic ones. To this 

 may be attributed any glaring omissions, as well as to the fact that 

 the writer of this notice can in no way lay any claim to being 

 considered anything botanically but an amateur.
