KHASYAH MOUNTAINS — BOGA PANEE AND MOFLONG 161 



signs or appearance of fresh plants. Along the Boga Panee, among 

 the wet rocks which form its banks, a fine Parnassia ; a trailing 

 Arbutoidea ; a very European looking Quercus ; Anesadenia pubescens, 

 a Circsea, Campanula? 2, ^Eschynomene, Crotalaria, a Serissa ? ; this 

 last continuing to Moflong, a fine Osbeckia, and Gnaphalium aereo- 

 nitus may likewise be found. On the ascent, few new plants occur ; Rhi- 

 nanthoidea, Osbeckia nepalensis, and capitata, Conyzoidea, Dipsacus, 

 Gnaphalium foliis linearibus, Crotolaria hoveoides, Colutoidea, Pteris 

 (Aquilina.) Scutellaria, Potentilla, Smilax occur at 5,000 feet with 

 Plantago, Fragaria and Artemisia, as well as lower down. The most 

 striking plant is a Delphinum, which, at about 5,000 feet, occurs 

 stunted ; this is common about Moflong. 



Agrimonia range from 3,500 to 5,500 feet, where they are very 

 common, Hypericum three sorts occur, H. myrtifolim commences, 

 about Churra, re-occurs here and there on the road to Moflong, about 

 which it is very common. H. ovalifolium, is more elevational, scarcely 

 descending below 5,000 feet ; H. japonicum is found from towards 

 Mahadeb to Moflong ; H. fimbriatum foliis decussatis, scarcely below 

 5,000 feet; Leucas galea brunneo villosa on grassy hills is common 

 towards Boga Panee, and continues as high as Moflong. 



Quercus commences about Mahadeb : a new species occurs on the 

 edge of woods towards the Kala Panee ; altitude 5,000 feet ; it nearly 

 commences with two Rhododendra, which, at least the arborescent 

 one, arrives at perfection on the Kala Panee. 



Viburna continue ; Salix (fruticose) commences about 5,000 feet, 

 continues here and there to Moflong. Buddlea Neemda is found about 

 Churra, but not commonly ; and soon disappears. B. 4-alata com- 

 mences beyond the Churra Punjee, and continues as far as Moflong. 



Thibaudia buxifolia becomes less common beyond 5,000 feet ; other 

 forms of Ericinea? appear in places about 5,000 feet, Gaultheria con- 

 tinuing as far as Moflong. Eurya species alterum, commences about 

 the same elevation, continuing to Moflong. 



Three species of Spiraea are found between Suriireem and Moflong, 

 none perhaps below 5,000 feet ; Prunella occurs about the same height, 

 continuing as far as Moflong. 



On crossing the Boga Panee, the country becomes perhaps more 

 undulated and much more barren, scarcely any arborescent vegeta- 

 tion is to be seen, the little woody vegetation consisting of stunted 

 shrubs. Immediately around Moflong, the country is excessively 

 bare, not a tree is to be ^.een, even the sides of ravines being clothed
