Capt. N. Vicary’s Notes on the Botany of Sinde. 429 
35. Adenanthera pavoniana't Near villages, cultivated ? 
Plants of this order are comparatively rare in Sinde ; my her- 
barium contains only four others, and two of these are Indigofer ( 2 . 
Urticace^. 
36. Forskalea ovata, Vic. : Hala mountains. Plant rising erect 
to two feet, all parts clothed with sharp hooked hairs; leaves 
alternate, triple-nerved, white, tomentose beneath excepting the 
nerves, lower ones broad ovate, upper ones ovate, all narrowed 
at base into the petioles and grossly dentate ; involucres of four 
to seven linear-spatulate lobes. This plant comes near F. tena- 
cissima, and perhaps may be a broad-leaved variety of it. 
ARISTOLOCHIACEiE. 
37. Aristolochia bracteata : Lower Sinde. 
CnENOPODIACEiE. 
38. Salsola Indica : Sinde desert and Halas. 
39. Salsola stricta ? : Upper and Lower Sinde. 
40. Anabasis fiorida, M.B. : borders of Sinde desert, and banks 
of Indus to near Bhawulpoor. 
41. Atriplex verruciferum^ M.B.?: sand-hills near Kurrachee. 
I have doubtfully referred this as above, but it is probably a new 
species. The whole plant is lepidate-hoary and shrubby. Leaves 
shortly petioled, oblong, ovate, and obovate, blunt, narrowed at 
base into the petioles, lower leaves often remotely toothed. Upper 
leaves entire, valves of fruit orbicular with the reflexed entire mar- 
gins and subcordate bases lepidate, otherwise smooth. Stamens 
of the male flowers five. 
PHYTOLACCACEiE. 
42. Limeum obovatum, Vic. : skirts of the Hala mountains 
near Kotree. Roots ligneous, descending deep into the soil ; stems 
herbaceous prostrate, minutely pubescent. Leaves cuneate ob- 
ovate and ovate, obtuse with a point, minutely pubescent ; flowers 
opposed to a leaf, three to five together, very shortly pedunculate, 
pedicels minutely bibracteolate. This plant comes near L. Capense. 
POLYGONACE^. 
43. Calligonum Polygonoides ? : all Sinde. The specific cha- 
racters of this curious genus are founded on peculiarities of the 
fruit ; unfortunately I have never seen the fruit of our Sinde 
shrub, and have merely referred it to €. Polygonoides, because 
that plant makes a nearer approach in habitat to Sinde than C. 
Pallasia. This shrub is common throughout Sinde, and is found 
on the banks of the Indus nearly as far up as Bhawulpoor ; near 
Shahpoor, at the eastern base of the Hala mountains, it is most
