In the foregoing list are included all the species of drier places that 
occur in Northern or Western Bengal or in parts of India further 
west than West Bengal even when the species has not yet been 
collected there. But besides these all the species of rice-fields and 
marshy places which have an erect habit are also enumerated. There 
are, however, a number of the submerged or floating aquatic plants 
so characteristic of our area that also occur in rice-fields, ponds and 
marshes throughout the regions to the west or north of our districts.
