0{js. by N. W. 

 i strongly suspect that Roxburgh is mistaken in considering thi,3 

 to be Willdenow's pubescens. — It is a plant which 1 have found very 

 common in valleys and on the sides of the lower mountains of NipaJ, 

 „ where it blossoms all the year round. I have likewise had it from the 

 N. W. mountains of Hindooslhan ; and from Shreenwgwr, where the 

 plant is called ^f§^> Ushedu. It agrees perfectly with S. rerbascijo* 



* This name probably belongs to some other species. Ed.
