at present, and the same remark applies to all the species given under 

 Justicia, as the greater part of them have been placed with other genera 

 by modern Botanists. I have no monograph of any single family of 

 plants by me here, so cannot avail myself of any of the late improve- 

 ments. 



Order. — Scrophulariaceae. 



342. Terronia, Roxb. Kangsing. 



343. Buddleia Neemda, Buch. Nangta.

348. Nicotiana tabaccum, Linn. Ditto. 



349. Capsicum frutescens, Roxb. Kangsing. 



Order.-— Gentianacece. 



350. Exacum bicolor, Roxb. Sohohai. 



35 1 . Pladera virgata, Roxb. ? Probably a new species, as Roxburgh 

 says his plant is erect; this is trailing, branches acutely 4-angled, 

 leaves opposite, short petioled, 3-nerved, smooth, calyx distinctly 4- 

 partite, 2 segments large, striped with pink, 2 smaller white, bearing 

 the longer stamen, which is twice the length of the other three, throat 

 of the corolla yellow. This is one of the most interesting plants I 

 met with, as it bears such a profusion of flowers, and accompanied us 

 at every step from the Dikho to the Dyung. I saw it on the summit 

 of every hill on both sides of the road, on every slope, and at the bottom 

 of every ravine. 



Order. — Apocynaceae. 



352. Beaumontia grandiflora, Wall. This very elegant and powerful 

 climber I have not hitherto met with in the plains, and I saw but one 

 plant in our journey over the hills, and that was at an elevation of 

 2,153 feet. Namsang. 



353. Echites macrophylla, Roxb. Sohohai.
