608 The Turaee and Outer Mountains of Kumaoon. [June, 



barbata of Decaisne, and S. Aruncus of Don, who had previously de- 

 scribed it at full length under Astilbe rivularis. 



Clematis grata, not common at Nynee Tal. 



Clematis amplexicaulis, Edgeworth, 7000 — 8500 feet. 



Clematis Nepalensis, south face of Sher-ka Danda, also at Murora, on 

 the Nyar in Gurhwal ; always in or by running water, between 6000 

 and 6500 feet above the sea. On the young flowerless shoots, the 

 leaves are triternate ; such variations are not uncommon in this genus, 

 and have perhaps augmented the number of species in books beyond 

 that in nature. 



Aquilegia pubiflora (not pubescens.) 



Pseonia Emodi. In beds of many hundred plants before me at 

 Binsur, not above one in ten flowers has two carpels, a number com- 

 mon in the interior. The plant does not, to my knowledge, extend 

 further N. W. than Dhunpoor mountain, one of the sources of the 

 Nyar. In that and the neighbouring districts the young shoots are eat- 

 en as a vegetable under the name " Soojoonia," though the plant is call- 

 ed Chundra ; it is probable that the long tuberous roots may be one of 

 the species of Bikh. 



Epilobium montanum, cylindricum, and laxum ? 



Circsea repens and intermedia. 



Berberis Wallichiana ? summit of Cheenur only, 8700 feet. 



Berberis asiatica. Kilmora : to 7500 feet, as on Binsur and Siyahee 

 Devee. 



Vitis tomentosa, rugosa, on Sher-ka Danda. 



Aralia or Panax. Shrubby, and probably undescribed. 



Millingtonia (Meliosma) Dillenifolia. Luriya kanta. 



Polygala triphylla and crotolarioides. 



Stephania Wightii, common at 6500 — 7500. 



Bryonia umbellata. 



Trichosanthes palmata. Outlet of the lake, 6400. Perhaps its 

 upper limit. 



Hypericum cernuum, Uralum, barbatum, elodeoides. 



Acer villosum (and on Binsur : a beautiful species.) 



Rhododendron arboreum, (puniceum, Roxburgh.) Captain A. Ge- 

 rard, account of Koonawur, says, that the tree with ' large red flower' 

 ascends to 10,000 feet : but in Kumaoon and S. E. Gurhwal, we only
