HUGHLI-HOWRAH AND THE 24-PERGUNNAHS.

Two other species, Najas l ace r a ta Rendle and Najas rigida Griff, 
should be kept in view and looked for. The former is apparently 
plentiful in deep pools of standing water in the neighbouring district 
of Jessore. The latter was collected by Griffith at Serampore ; it is 
a doubtful species, with fleshy rigid leaves, of which the original 
examples are not now to be found ; if it be really a Najas it differs 
from all the known species in having alternate leaves.

Voigt states (H. S. 731) that in addition to the five which he 
enumerates, seven other species were collected in the neighbourhood 
of Serampore by the native gardeners attached to the garden of 
which he had charge. The species of this genus therefore deserve 
to be carefully collected and examined. One of Voigt's seven doubt- 
less was E. luzulifolium ; what the others may have been it is im- 
possible to conjecture.
