734 Flora of the Naga Hills, [No. 153. 



500. ? A small, but very ornamental shrub, with red and white 

 flowers ; every part covered with soft, hairy tomenta. Leaves opposite 

 petioled, lanceolate, serrate, white, with down underneath. Flowers in 

 crowded terminal racemes, or rather spikes, for the pedicles are scarcely 

 perceptible. Bractes scattered, coriaceous, about 3-flowered, calyx 

 tubular, 5- toothed, densely clothed with soft white down, corolla 5- par- 

 tite longer than the calyx. Stamens 4-didynamous, exserted, 4 times as 

 long as the calyx, Pestil bifid as long as the stamens, germ 4-lobed, 

 ripe seed not seen. Clerodendron species? Mohom. 



In conclusion, I have to observe, that I have generally preferred 



giving Roxburgh's names, although I am aware that many of them 



have been changed since his time. All the native names given in 



italics are Assamese.

Journal of Captain Herbert's Tour from Almorah in a N. W. y W. t 

 and S. W. direction, through parts of the Province of Kemaon and 

 British Gurhwal, chiefly in the centre of the Hills, vide No. 66, 

 Indian Atlas. (Edited by J. H. Batten, Esq., C. S.) 

 \lth November, 1827- — Marched in the evening to Hawulbagh. 

 \2th Nov. — Halted for Captain Manson to join. 

 13th Nov.— Halted for coolies, thinking these would prove a dif- 

 ficulty, deemed it advisable to detach him. 



\ith Nov. — Marched to Dharim Khola about six miles. Road 

 good, almost level, mica slate the whole way, no good examples of 

 strata. Temperature of the river 58, air 68, mean thermometer 48 ; 

 in the evening making arrangements for the coolies. Dharim Khola- 

 ghur is small but rather picturesque, with a pretty good share of level 

 ground ; it contains one other village.* 



* The line of march from Hauwulbugh was up the Kosilla river. Dharim Khola is a 

 glen, which joins that of the Kosilla from the West. — J. H. B.
