69. Barleria pronilis. r Common on waste 
60. ,, tongifolia 1 lands. 
61. ,, cristata.* 
62. Bomhan pent andrum. 
63. ,, heptaphyllum. The first I have 
only seen in gardens ; the latter is a very 
common tree. Boih are deciduous, and the 
numerous large glowing red flowers of the 
latter make a very showy appearance when 
the tree is totally destitute of leaves. Fe- 
bruary and March are its flow'ering months. 
The cotton, I believe, which it produces, is of 
no value. 
64. Butea frondosa. The immense clus- 
ters of red coloured pea flowers which this 
tree produces, have also a very showy appear- 
ance — they come before the leaves, — inde- 
pendent of the flow^ers, the tree has nothing to 
recommend it in the way of beauty. It is not 
very common ; several grow in Elephanta. 
65. Butea superha. A very strong climber, 
with far more splendid flowers. It grows 
on Salsette— rave. 
66. Bryonia grandis.

ra tree; common.

nual springing up in the rains. 
70. Bignonia Rheedii. I have only seen 
one tree. The flowers grow on a scape flve 
or six feet long, and give the tree a carious 
appearance at a distance. 
71. Ceinna. Indica. 
72. Costus speciosus. Found it on a hill 
near Wuzaum Poona road.

the top of the Ghauts. A species of arrow- 
root is made from it.

* I have picked specimens of this plant in 
Danes* Island, Whuinpoa, China. A. very good 
figure of it is given in Osbeck’s voyage to Chi- 
na— a work which those who write on the bo- 
tany of that country should not fail to consult.
