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



is extremely unlikely ; the Himalaya having otherwise only one repre- 

 sentative of the order as denned by Dr. Lindley ; viz., a species of tri- 

 bulus, found and figured at Leeo in upper Koonawur, by Mr. Charles 

 Home, C. S.* It should be added however, that Mr. Wm. Griffith 

 (Journal of Travels, pp. 264, 265) mentions a Melianthus at 9500 feet 

 near Jaisa, in northern Bhotan. 



Zizyphus jujuba. 



Reseda odorata. Becomes perennial at Almorah as at Algiers. 



Rubus tiliaceus. " Kutrola," " Kutrota :" (R. cordifolius, Don.) 



Potentilla supina, at 7400, on Binsur, and at Hurdwar. 



Potentilla Wallichiana ; a third species is undetermined. 



Indigofera polyphylla. 



Flemingia nana ? Roxburgh ; a small shrub, 3 to 5 inches high. Al- 

 morah. 



Flemingia procumbens, Roxburgh, is no doubt the plant formerly 

 entered here as Dolichos, " Mooskela." It is so called (mouse-plan- 

 tain) from the form of its tubers, which are occasionally dug up and 

 eaten by the poor. The plant reaches nearly to the summit of Luriya 

 Kanta, and to 8500 feet, or more, near Nagkunda. I have not seen 

 the deciduous calyx bracteoles mentioned by Roxburgh, and one of the 

 two ovules seems generally abortive. 



Eriosema — . This is Crotolaria tuberosa of Don, Pyrrhotri- 



chia tuberosa, W. and A. 



Urtica caudigera. 



Ficus virgata, (not rotundifolia.) " Beroo," " Bedoo." It is arbo- 

 rescent with ashy white bark and edible fruit, the size of a large goose- 

 berry ; and so far does not tally with Roxburgh's description. 



Aerua scandens (not lanata.) 

 Polygonum Posumbu (Don.) near P. barbatum. 

 Stephania Wightii. Clypea of p. 431. 

 Campanula canescens (not ramulosa.) 



* In Mr. Home's numerous and interesting drawings may also be recognized 

 three other plants new to Himalayan Botany : — 



1. A Symphytum, at Bhyroo Ghattee on the Bhagiruthee. 



2. Calystegia sepium, at Reeba in upper Koonawur. 



3. Tamus (like Cretica) at Rukchum on the upper Buspa.
