1859.] Notes on the Flora of Lachiow. 107 



Cocos nucifera, L. The cocoa nut palm has been planted in 

 several of the gardens in and near Lucknow. The trees are forty 

 and fifty feet high, and though fall grown, they never flower. 



JPandance. 



Pandanus odoratissimus, L. Extensively cultivated on account 

 of its powerfully fragrant flowers. 



Graminece. 



Bambusa ? 



This extensive introduced Flora, large though it is, increases in 

 importance when considered with reference to the comparatively 

 small number of really indigenous species. The truly wild plants 

 probably amount to five hundred or six hundred species, and are 

 most well known and widely distributed in India. None of them 

 are rare, except Kohautia gracilis, Royle, anew species of Trifolium ) 

 Gmelina asiatica, and Crypsis phleoides. 



Unfortunately my list is not so complete as it might be, for, as 

 my original collections were lost during the mutinies, it has been 

 compiled from a set of duplicates I sent to Dr. Thomson, and from 

 a small collection I made, while on service at Lucknow last year. 

 The truly wild species drawn from these materials exceed four 

 hundred, though many of the rains plants, especially grasses, are 

 wanting. List of the indigenous plants of Lucknow.
