100 Notes on tli e Flora of Luchnow. [No. 2. 



ations, the origin of several is doubtful, many of thera are indi- 

 genous in some part of India, either north or south, some have been 

 introduced from Persia and the oriental region, and a few cosmo- 

 politan species seem to have been imported by the different con- 

 querors of the country. They spring up often on rubbish heaps, or 

 by the wayside and near villages and towns, and are thus apt to be 

 gathered and included in the Flora of the district. Out of the list 

 appended, those most worthy of notice are. Cheiranthus cheiri, 

 Hibiscus mutahilis, Guateria longlfolia, which probably her« reaches 

 its northern limit as it seldom or never flowers, and is nearly decidu- 

 ous ; Coohia punctata, Eriobota Japonica, JPyrus sinensis, are common 

 in the gardens of the Nawabs. Ananus sativus succeeds well, 

 though not extensively cultivated. A few trees of Cocos nucifera 

 exist at Lucknow, though the climate is utterly unsuited for them. 

 Lofty trees of Ailanthes excelsa, a tree rare north of the Jumna 

 occur very commonly at Lucknow.
