VII.—WEGATIVE FEATURES OF THE SUNDRIBUN FLORA. 
In the foregoing chapters our attention has been necessarily given 
exclusively to those species that are known to occur in the Sundribuns, 
because specimens from this territory actually exist in the Calcutta Her- 
barium, or because careful observers like Roxburgh, Clarke and Heinig 
have reported their presence in the region. Having regard, however, 
to the fact that, with some of these reported species, e.g. Barring-^ 
tonia speciosa^ reported by Heinig only, and Ceriops Candolleana^ 
reported both by Clarke and by Heinig, though there is no inherent 
improbability in the record, there is nevertheless the possibility of 
some mistake in identification , it has seemed better merely to mention 
the fact of the record ; while a search for all recorded species has been 
urged, these quite doubtful ones have been excluded from the serial list. 
This sketch of the Sundribun Flora would, however, fail to be 
complete without a brief reference to the general flora of which it 
forms an integral part, and without a list of the more salient members 
of this flora that have not hitherto been recorded from the Sundribuns, 
but that it is not impossible, where the nature of the species actually 
present in the Sundribuns is considered, may yet be found there. For 
while it is no doubt true that we probably now know all the common, 
and the majority of the wide-spread though rare Sundribun species, it 
must be recollected that the area occupied by these forests is so very 
extensive as to forbid its systematic exploration island by island, 
and that therefore in the future, as in the past, accident alone can 
lead to the collection of any species that is not only rare but local in
