THE VEGETATION OF THE DISTRICTS OF 
Allium tuberosum Roxb. ; H. S. 669 ; B. P. ii. 1076. 
v. Ranga gandhina. Indian Leek. 
Recorded by Roxburgh as cultivated about Calcutta, but unknown 
to Voigt and not met with in our area as a crop by the writer : the 
species has, however, been raised from seeds received from Behar 
and the resulting plants compared and found to agree exactly with 
Roxburgh’s drawing. It is just possible that it may be met with in 
gardens in the western part of Hughli district. 
Allium ampcloprasum Linn.; H. S. 668 ; B. P, ii. 1076. A. Porrum

570 . Monoclioria Presl. 
* Monoclioria liastaefolia Presl ; B. P. ii. 1079. Ponte deria hastata 
H. S. 645. 
v. Nukha. 
In ditches and rice-fields, general. 
Monoclioria vaginalis Presl; B. P. ii. 1079. Pontederia vaginalis 
H. S. 645. 
v. Nukha . 
Reported by Voigt from Serampore, and may quite possibly occur, 
because the species is plentiful in the Gangetic Plain to the north 
and also to the east of our districts; the record, however, needs con- 
firmation.
