Explanation of Figures. 



Plate XV. 



Figs. 1 and 2, plants of the ordinary spreading loam-form of Saccharum spontaneum, 



as usually found in wet pastures. 

 Fig. 3. The Asan River near Jhajra, with the Siwalik Hills in the background. 



The water-logged soil in, and close to, the river bed is occupied by Saccharum 

 spontaneum var. nepalense. The plants show inferior dimensions, as the area- 

 is heavily grazed and the grass here is also cut for thatching purposes.
