 Caladium pumilum. " Banj ka pindaloo," i. e. oak colocasia, com- 

 mon on trees and mossy rocks from 5 — 6000 to 8 — 9000 feet. At 

 p. 438, it is confounded with R. vivapara, which however is quite dis- 

 tinct, and does not appear to ascend above 4500 feet, as BheemTal and 

 Noukoochia Tal, where it is known as " Bagh ka pindaloo," i. e. 

 Tiger's Colocasia.

Arundinaria falcata, "Ningala," not Vingala, p. 371. The people 



* The opinion is general amongst the people of Kumaoon that this plant never 

 flowers ; and the majority do not, as is common with plants reproduced by bulbs, 

 &c. These appear in September on radical procumbent panicles, (not erect spikes 

 as in R. vivipara,) and the scales each ending in a long white spirally twisted awn 

 give the whole the appearance of a tangled mass of thread. The flowers appear in 

 June, a little before the rains set in, and before the leaves expand, and as the scapes 

 are only 2 or 3 inches high, and soon curve down amongst the moss, &c, are easily 

 overlooked, though the spathe is of rather a bright yellow; much like that of a 

 small Arum with pedate leaves common at Simlah, and as far up as Cheenee in 

 Kunawar.
