small but hard aud uot uumerous. As it octuirs in .sandal areas and 
yields small timber aud firewood, its association with sandal will 
be advantageous. 
Bigxoniace-e. 
{98) Tecoma Stans — (Almost evergreen shrub). — Dr. Barber 
examined sandal haustoria on its roots under the microscope and 
appears to have found them penetrating into the woody cylinder. 
1 have not seen its attacked roots. Being an exotic in sandal areas 
and not of much economic value, it may not be worth introduction 
to such areas. 
(99) Kiyelia pinnata — (Deciduous tree). — The same authority 
has found the roots of this species attacked by sandal and the haus- 
toria not only sucessfully penetrating the woody tissue of the host, 
but completely devouring it in small roots. Being a quick growing 
plant under varying conditions, its association with sandal may 
prove very useful. 
Acanthace*. 
(100) Strobilan^hes cuspidatus — (Evergreen shrub). — This low 
shrub is pretty largely attacked by sandal in its early stages of 
growth ; plates illustrating its root-attachment to sandal roots are 
published in the September number of the Indian Forester, Volume 
XXIX. 
(101) Adhatoda Vasica — (Evergreen shrub). — I found this 
species largely attacked ; the haustoria were numerous, small and 
woody ; from the haustorial scars it ap])eared that penetration had 
been effected ; the haustoria were prominently high ; this species 
occurs commonly in cool localities in the habitat of sandal. Plate 
VI is a drawing of the roots examined by me.

their affected roots, but Dr. Barber has examined sandal haustoria 
on them and found them penetrate to the wood of the host. 
Verbenace^. 
(104) Lantana Camara' — (Deciduous shrub). — This species is 
very extensively affected and numerous haustoria of medium size
