JUGLANDACEiE]. 
* 327. Jug'lans reg-ia, Linn. — The Walnut is cultivated 
in Yarkand, and the trees are often of large size^ and fruit 
very freely. At Sanju and Kargallik we encamped in groves 
of Walnut trees. In Ladak there are a few solitary trees 
planted at villages on the Indus^ below Le. Walnuts are 
so plentiful in Kashmir that oil is expressed from the 
kernels. 
EL^AGNACE^. 
* 328. Kippophae rhamnoides, Linn. — Ladak and 
Yarkand, from 7 to 15,000 ft. At 11,000 ft. it often grows 
into a good-sized tree, 20 ft. high, but as the altitude above 
the sea increases it becomes reduced in size, and is often 
met with only a few inches in height. Called Sir ma in 
Ladak. 
329. Elaeagrnus ang'ustifolia 7 Linn. — Ladak, along 
the Indus Valley, where it is called Sir Ling ; the roots are 
said to be used for making matches for matchlocks. 
* 330. Slaeag'nus latifolia? Linn. — This is one of 
the most common trees in Yarkand, where it is cultivated 
as a tall hedge, and for its fruit, along roadsides ; the fruit 
is often an inch and a half long. I doubt if it is indigenous 
in Yarkand, the plants seen, apparently wild, at oases 
in the desert between Sanju and Kargallik had much 
smaller fruit and more spiny branches, but had probably 
grown from seeds dropped by travellers. 
EUPHOEBIACEiE. 
331. Euphorbia Dladdenii, Boiss. — Ladak. 
332. Euphorbia tibetica, Boiss. — About Tankse in 
Ladak. 
SALICACEiE. 
* 333. Populus balsamifera, Linn. — Common about 
villages in Ladak up to 13,000 ft., but always cultivated, I
