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



very close resemblance to Phoenix Sylvestris, as described by Dr. Griffith, 

 (Calcutta Journal of Nat. Hist. No. 19,) who was evidently inclined 

 to consider this last, Ph. acaulis, and Ph. dactylifera but as gradations 

 of one form. — Such a view seems very probable from the apparent 

 impossibility of finding good characters to define these so called 

 species. 



Uropetalum. So Mr. Edgeworth thinks the blank may be filled up, 

 line 7, p. 438. 



Juncus dichotomus (not bufonius.) 



*Commelyna salicifolia. 



Kemusatia capillifera (not vivipara.) See ante. 



Pothos decursiva ? " Kelounia." A very handsome species, at 

 about 4000 feet, east face of Binsur. 



Andropogon Calamus- aromaticus (or Martini.) This plant is called 

 Rhoonsee in central India, and it is curious that at Syree (below Simlah) 

 where it is abundant, the name is " Reoonsh," and " Dig-reoonsh." 



Anthisteria arundinacea to 4000 on the Suwal. 



Manisurus granulatus. 



Leptothrium Roylei. 



Pogonantherum polystachyum. 



Spodiopogon laniger. 



Brachypodium Nepalense. 



Fimbristylis communis. 



Mariscus cyperinus. 



Trichclostylis junciformis. 



Kyllingia multiceps. 



Cyperus Iria. 



Cyperus tegetum. (Papyrus pangorei?) is the plant entered as 

 " Motha," p. 440. It occurs wild, but is also cultivated on the bor- 



* la the original paper, Murdannia scapiflora is inserted here, I suspect errone- 

 ously. The plant intended scarcely descends below 5000 feet? flowers in August 

 with leafy scape, and is probably Aneilema longifolia. It is common along the Gagur 

 range, up to 7000 feet, and is also found at Simlah and Mussoree. Murdannia 

 scapiflora, on the other hand, flowers in May with a leafless scape, and does not, to 

 my knowledge, ascend above 4000 feet, as at the Sat Tal, near Bheem Tal. The 

 flowers are very like, and Dr. Royle (Illustrations, p. 403,) appears to consider the 

 plants identical.
