Polgurh (properly Puwulgurh) p. 3/6. 



Medicago hystrix. 



Buchanania latifolia. 



Schrebera Swietenioides. "Moka." This tree occurs near Polgurh 

 in considerable numbers, scattered in the Sal forest which clothes the 

 high southern bank of the Dubka ; a small hamlet below is named Mo- 

 kanee from it. Lieutenant Strachey discovered the tree in this locality ; 

 I had previously met one or two in the Dhikolee Pass, but, wanting 

 flowers and fruit, could only conjecture it to be a Bignonia, of which, 

 and Swietenia (Mahogany) it has entirely the habit. It has not occur- 

 red elsewhere, and being tomentose, may possibly be different from Rox- 

 burgh's species ; but Mr. Edgeworth informs me that the foliage, &c, 

 is similarly clothed in Bundelkhund ; where it is called Ghant. The 

 Kumaoon name is used in the Peninsula, and is evidently derived from 

 the classical moksh, moovku, in allusion to the pendulous fruit, as the 

 synonymes Ghunta-patulee and Ghunta-parulee (Bell-Bignonia suaveo- 

 lens) refer to its form ; and Kshardroo to the ashy color of the fruit 

 and bark. Dr. Wilson does not give any identification of these terms ; 

 nor does Dr. Lindley notice Roxburgh's genus.
