 f tatarica, parvif6h"a, serrata (syn. heterophylla), laevigata viridis, f * mauri- 

 tiana, * scandens. Some of these names are to be regarded as not established, 

 and as more or less likely to be synonymous with others amongst them. 

 Broussoneb'a integrifolia. 



Vlmdcece. U'lmus -j-erosa (syn. efFusa W.), -j- integrifolia, virgata. These 

 names are from Dr. Wallich's catalogue. In Mr. Royle's catalogue are three 

 others, but Mr. Rojle has advised that they may represent the same species. 

 Celtis -f- orientalis, (?) elongata, politoria, tetrandra, (?) cinnamomea, (?) mollis. 



ZuglanddcecB . Juglans -|- regia ; Engelhardtia RoxburghzV2»fl, Colebrookiana. 



^alicdcecB, iS'alix Lindleyana, obovata, polyandra, \ * babylonica, (?) eegyp- 

 tiaca, elegans, grisea, kamaunensis, eriostachya, pyrina. The first five of these 

 names are derived from Mr. Royle's catalogue and work . the rest are from 

 Dr. Wallich's catalogue. In Mr. Royle's catalogue are six other names, but 

 Mr. Royle has told us that they may represent the same species as certain of 

 the names above. Populus cordata, acuminata, yjyriformis, ciliata, sp. 



Gu2ndifercB. Quercus annulata, f dealbata, incana, polyantha, lanata, flori- 

 banda, laxiflora, dentosa, semecarpifolia, lamellosa, /appacea, spicata, fenestrata, 

 dilatata, lancesefolia, lanuginosa, \ Phidldta. These names are from Dr. 

 Wallich's catalogue, and are exclusive of several others that are those of 

 species which Mr. Royle deems likely to be too tender to thrive in Britain. 

 Mr. Royle has in his own catalogue names, distinct from Dr. Wallich's, of 

 seven kinds, of which some may be identical with, some distinct from, those 

 represented by Dr. Wallich's names. Castanea indica, ifribuldides, (?) micro- 

 carpa, (?) sphserocarpa. Corylus lacera, ? ferox ; in Mr. Rojde's catalogue are 

 the names cashmeriensis and scaberrima, which may represent the same kinds 

 as the preceding, or distinct ones. Carpinus viminea, /aginea. 



'BetuldcecB. j5etula Bhofpattra (syn. iitilis), acuminata, cylindrostachya, 

 nitida ; and, in Mr. Royle's catalogue, three other names of as many kinds, 

 that may be identical with three of those above, or distinct. .4'lnus (?) nepa- 

 lensis. 



Platandcecs. Platanus -j- orientalis.

 dra GevaxAidna ; Juniperus squamata, f * chinensis, * dimorpha, f recurva, 

 religidsa, f excelsa, communis ?; 'Phuja -j- * orientalis, f nepalensis. 



Whoever wishes to become acquainted with the ligneous flora of Hima- 

 laya should have recourse to Mr. Royle's Illustrations ; it will be found to 

 be one of the most scientific and comprehensive works of the kind that 

 have ever been published ; embracing, not only the scientific botany and natu- 

 ral history, including the geology, of the district, but the geographical dis- 

 tribution of species and their properties and uses : the whole being generalised 

 with reference to Lower India and Europe. 



Of the trees and shrubs of temperate climates, which have been 

 introduced into the different countries of Asia, we profess to know but 

 little. Not many foreign ligneous plants, we suppose, have been added to the 

 ligneous flora of Siberia or Tartary : but the hardy fruit trees and fruit shrubs 

 of Europe have been cultivated for a number of years in the gardens of some 

 of the native princes of India; and many of our ornamental trees and shrubs 

 have been transported to the gardens of our public oflicers in that country,
