with the exception of a few short branches near the ground. Internodes 22-29 in. 

 long, 2J-3 in. diarn., culm-sheaths firm, outside with black irritating hairs, apex 

 with two broad undulating bands on both sides of the blade. Genus unknown, neither 

 Gigantochloa nor Oxytenanthera. The distinctly keeled palea is against Melocanna. 

 P. 674. Oxytenanthera nigrociliata. Vern. Wapyugyi, Burin. Wamay, Karen (Papun). 

 Plentiful in Martaban, on the hills between the Beeling and Salween rivers. The 

 culms of the first year bright glossy g'reen, finely streaked with white lines, stiff 

 black hairs -fa in. long on the upper part of internode, below the nodes (Manson). The 

 lowest fl. in the spikelet is the youngest, staminal-tube short, enclosing the ovary ; in 

 the middle fl. the anthers are shedding their pollen, the staminal-tube being nearly 

 as long as the style and enclosing it. In the uppermost fl. the caryopsis is nearly 

 mature, ^ in., crowned by the persistent style j-1 in. long.

 head-waters of the Maitharauk stream. 



P. 684. Ochlandra. Species 7 in India, 1 in the Malay Peninsula. 



P. 692. Abies Webbiana. Dr. Augustine Henry has drawn my attention to a remark- 

 able character observed by him in all specimens cultivated in Great Britain, viz., 

 that the furrows between the raised leaf cushions are clothed with minute brown 

 hairs, while the branchlets of A. Pindroiv are perfectly glabrous. It would be 

 interesting to ascertain the origin of the seed, from which the specimens of A. Webbiana, 

 now growing in Great Britain, have been raised. 



P. 693. Dr. Henry informs me that the Spruce of the Chumbi valley is P. morindoides, 

 Rehder in Sargent Trees and Shrubs, I. p. 95, tab. 48, described from a specimen culti- 

 vated in France. 



P. 170. Zizyphus Jujuba. A shrubby form, more or less gregarious, in the sub-hima- 

 layan tract, Oudh, Chutia Nagpur and elsewhere. 



A. "W. Lushington in Ind. For. XXX. 161 and G. M. Ryan on p. 450 have justly 

 drawn attention to the large number of Indian trees which reproduce themselves by 

 root-shoots, commonly known as root-suckers.* The following list is based almost 

 entirely upon these two most useful communications. The subject will doubtless 

 receive more attention in future, and many species will then be added to the present 

 list :—

P. xvi. Mr. Talbot's excellent account of the Forest Flora of Bombay and Sind., Ind. 

 For. XXXII. 8, 56, 126, containing on p. 60 a detailed description of the Kaus and 

 evergreen forests, reached me after the Introduction had been printed. 



* Mr. Lushington objects to the term root-sucker because roots do not as a rule 

 produce leaf-buds. But the roots of Elms and Poplars which in Europe produce 

 abundant root-suckers (French drageon) are real roots, not rhizomes, and this doubt- 

 less is the case with the Indian trees here mentioned.
