 Plentiful in Martaban, on the hills between the Beeling and Salween rivers. The 

 culms, of the first year bright glossy green, finely streaked with white lines, stiff 

 black hairs -}i in. long on the upper part of internode, below the nodes (Manson), The 

 lowest fl. in the spikelet is the youngest, staminal-tube short, enclosing the ovary ; in 

 the middle fl. the anthers are shedding their pollen, the staminal-tube being nearly 

 as long as the style and enclosing it. In the uppermost fi. the caryopsis is nearlj^

 P. 692. Abies Wehhiana. Dr. Augustine Henry has drawn my attention to a remark- 

 able character observed by him in all specimens cultivated in Great Britain, viz.^ 

 that the furrows between the x^aised leaf cushions are clothed with minute brown 

 haiib, while the branchlets of A. Pindroto are perfectly glabrous. It would be 

 interesting to ascertain the origin of the seed, from which the specimens of A. Wehhiana^ 

 now growing in Great Britain, have been raised. 



P. 693. Dr. Henry informs me that the Spruce of the Chumbi valley is P. morindoides,

A. "W. Lushington in Ind. For. XXX. 161 and G. M. Hyan on p. 450 have justly 

 drawn attention to the lai-ge number of Indian trees which reproduce themselves by 

 root-shoots, commonly known as root-suckers.^ The following list is based almost 

 entirely upon these two most useful communications. The subject will doubtless 

 receive more attention in future, and many species will then be added to the present 

 list:—

p. xvi. Mr. Talbot's excellent account of the Forest Flora of Bombay and Sind., Ind. 

 For. XXXII. 8, 56, 126, containing on p. 60 a detailed description of the Xaus and 

 evergreen forests, I'eaohed me after the Introduction had been printed, 



'•* Mr. Dushington objects to the term root-sucker because roots do not as a rule 

 produce leaf -buds. But the roots of Elms and Poplars which in Europe produce 

 abundant root-suckers (French drageon) are real roots, not rhizomes, and this doubt- 

 less is the case with the Indian ti-ees here mentioned.
