PART I.~LIST OF SPECIES. 
The genus Polygonum has not escaped the numerical increase 
resulting from the extension of area of British India and the influx of 
new collections, which have occurred since the publication of vol. v. 
of the Flora of British India in 1890. Nine species have been 
added to the number given in the Flora of British India : of these, 
only two are new discoveries since the publication of vol. v ; of the 
remainder, some had been overlooked 'when the account in that volume 
was written, while the advance of the Indian frontiers, particularly 
on the west, has rendered necessary the inclusion of others. Descrip- 
tions of those additional species have been given, so as to obviate the 
necessity of consulting various books which quite likely might not be 
readily accessible to the botanist in India. Species, varieties, and 
localities new or not mentioned in the Flora of British India are 
distinguished by an asterisk.
