31. C Tndicus, W. and A. 789 ; Roxb. Fl 3, p 325.— " Toor." 

 Native of America and Asia (?) ; much cultivated, both in Gujarat 

 and the Deccan ; sown in rows amongst Bajri. Near Mhar, and 

 in other alluvial limits of the Concan, as also in the hilly districts, 

 it is sown by itself, when it reaches a much larger size, rising to 

 the height of 5 and 6 feet. The Dall stalk is used as a charcoal 

 for gunpowder in the Government works. It also affords a 

 choice material for baskets, grain-bins, &c. 



32. Lotus Jacobeus. — Very narrow-linear leaves ; dark-browa 

 flowers.

 t. 609. 



33. C ViRGiNiANA, C. Mexicana (?) or Mariana, Don's syst. 

 2, p 215. — To which of these species this small plant, introduced 

 from Calcutta seed at Dapoorie, may belong, remains to be seen ; 

 it has not flowered. The ovate lanceolate leaves would seem to 

 mark it as E Mariana. 



ERYTHRINA, Linn., Diadelphia Decandria. From erythros, 

 red ; the flowers are of a very brilliant red, and hence the name. 



34. E SuPERBA. — Eastern Bengal (?) A low tree with the 

 habit of the family ; flowers large, very ornamental. Garden at 

 Dapoorie ; raised from Calcutta seed. 



DALBERGIA, Linn., From Dalhergh, a Swedish botanist. 



35. D Sissoo, Roxb. Fl 3, p 223 ; Wight and Arnott 813.— 

 " Seesoo." Native of North- Western India. This, the real 

 D Seesoo, and differing considerably, as in the pointed leaf, &;c. 

 from our " Sissoo" (D Latifolia), has been introduced into 

 Southern India with success. It is of rapid growth, and the timber, 

 though possibly inferior to that of D Latifolia, is nevertheless 

 excellent for beams, wheels, and all agricultural purposes. The 

 Esplanade at Mangalore is now bordered by young trees of 

 this species. 



36. D RoBusTA, Roxb. Hort. Beng. p 53 ; Don's syst. 2, 375. 

 — Native of Lylhet. This tree has been raised at Dnpoorie and 

 Hewra from Seharunpore seed. A tall tree, yi\t\ pinnate leaves ; 

 leaflets 13 to 21, ovate-mucronate ; flowers small ; legume small, 

 leafy, marginated. With us it hardly merits the name Robusta, 

 as it is smaller in size, and of slower growth than most of our 

 indigenous species. Syn. Brachypterum robustum. This will be 

 found noticed in our No. 1, p 77. The tree is not a native of 

 Western India. 



37. D Melanoxylon. — Native of Abyssinia. This species 

 was raised from seed furnished by the late Nimmo, under the name 

 " Sennaar Ebony." It is a small tree, with long diverging branch-
