*1. P. SowA, Bth. and Hf. Gen. Plant. (Anethum Sowa, Eoxb. Fl. 

 Ind. II. 96 ; Wight Icon. t. 572). 



Hab. Much cultivated in the plains as well as in the hills up to 2000 

 £t. elevation, and often springing up in recently deserted toungyas. — Fl. 

 Fr. CS. 



*2. P. Pasti]S"aca, Bth. and H£. Gen. Plant. (Pastinaca sativa, L. 

 sp. pi. 376 ; DC. Prod. IV. 188). 



Hab. Only cultivated, especially in gardens of Europeans. 



Heracleum, L. 



1. H. BiEMANiCTJM, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1872. 309. 



Hab. Frequent in the upper dry forests of the highest crests of the 

 Pegu Yomah, on and around the Kambala-toung, at 2500 to 3000 ft. 

 elevation. — Fl. Febr. 



This plant forms a very conspicuous feature on the ridges referred to, 

 but, unfortunately, all the specinaens were so perfectly dried-up and withered 

 that it was impossible to give a full description of the species. It is 

 nearest to Heracleum No. 5 of Hf . and Th. collection from the Khasi hills 

 and eventually may be referable to it. 



Coriandrum, L.

 probably only cultivated. — Fl. Fr. Nov. Febr.
