Cortia elata. 



Ptychotis anethifolia. 



Acronema tenerum (Edgeworth), on oaks at 8700 feet, Cheenur, 

 where also is to be found abundance of a large plant of this order, not 

 identified. 



Ilex odorata : (Don's Prodroraus) is the species inserted at p. 365, 

 as Dr. Royle's T. serrata : both names are suitable. The tree occurs 

 on the descent to Kaleedhoongee near Sirmouria village, as well as on 

 the route from Cheenur to Kotah ; also near Deghat in Gurhwal : and 

 Mr. Edgeworth has observed it near Simlah ; the identification with 

 Dr. Royle's T. serrata is, therefore, probably correct. It is a large 

 and very beautiful species, growing at from 3000 to 4000 feet above 

 the sea, and is known in Kumaoon as Gurshoon and Gurkoula, where 

 the prefix gur, denoting glen, points out its usual site. 



Card amine impatiens. 



Arabis, Sp. 



Potentilla Wallichiana, and another, not determined. 



*Rubus lasiocarpus, biflorus, asper, hypargyrus and racemosus? 

 Roxb. 



Cotoneaster bacillaris, (not afnnis.) " Rous," " Rooes." 



Limonia laureola. M. Decaisne, who has made a new genus (An- 

 quetilia) of this, and removed it to the order Xanthoxylese, describes 

 the fruit as being 1 seeded. Such is sometimes the case, but it is very 

 generally 2 seeded. The young drupes or berries are even very com- 

 monly 3 seeded ; and in each case distinctly 2 to 3 celled, with the 

 stigma 2 to 3 lobed, accordingly want of mature fruit prevents examina- 

 tion as to whether these cells are permanent, beyond the month of 

 June : but certainly 2 at least of the seeds are so ; and from the fruit 



* Rubus lasiocarpus is the R. rosseflorus of Roxburgh, an identification which 

 escaped Messrs. Wight and Arnott, who have only given his albescens and racemom 

 sus as synonymes. The latter seems doubtful, for R. lasiocarpus has a corymb, not 

 a raceme. By R. racemosus, I mean a procumbent species, differing from lasio- 

 carpus by its being racemose, by the leaves not being tomentose below, and by its 

 trailing, nor erect habit. The flowers and fruit are similar : the former (red) : the 

 latter black, and very woolly. The shrub is common in the woods from 6500 to 

 8000 feet, and is perhaps R. micranthus of Don. R. hypargyrus is found on the 

 crest of Cheenur, also with red flowers and woolly fruit : but yellow, not black.
