PLANTS AT AVA. 



May 26th. — Visited Tsegain in the evening, and returned to Ava 

 on the following morning. 



May 27th. — Noticed Phoenix sylvestris. The Euphorbia is com- 

 mon ; it is not a Cactus, but a species of this genus, ramis com- 

 planatis, is found though not common ; as well as an Agave or 

 Aloe, but this is a doubtful native. Poinciana pulcherrimea, both 

 red and yellow, Rhus ? sp. arbuscula, Vallaris solanacea. A small 

 Lycopodium, Gmelina asiatica ? The additional Madras plants are, 

 Cissus quadrangularis. There is likewise another fleshy species fol. 

 3 phyllis, Sarcostemma viminale, Indigofera, Kalanchce laciniata 

 is common ; so is the white Cyperacea on barren spots ! I met with 

 Sarcostemma ciliatum ; Wall. ? petalis extus viridescent, intus ciliis- 

 que purpuro sanguinies, but it is rare. Cardiospermum pubescens 

 is certainly distinct, the flowers are twice as large as those of C. 

 Halicacabum, fructibus inflatis vix alatis, ovalibus, dehiscentia septi- 

 cida, septis axi adnatis, persistentibus. Semin. solitarii centro loculi 

 affixis, pisiparvi magnitudine, atris. 



Note. — Where any discrepancy occurs with regard to the native names in the
