grows sparingly ; and Berberts nepalensis. Orchids, Peperotnia^ 
Polypcdium coronans and Usnea are present as epiphytes. Jasminum. 
humtle^ in December flowerless and frost bitten, was seen plentifully 
in one spot. Viburnum coriaceum, Cleyera ochnacea^ Cornus oblongay 
Galium rotundifoliumi Coleus barhatus and Astilbe rivulariSf were 
observed. 
The forest round Kakni is altogether cut over ; here and there 
in it stout tree stumps suggest what has been; but there are no large 
trees now. The small trees there are chiefly Prinsepia utilise Msesa 
ramentacea^ Gaultheria fragrantissima, Luculia gratissimay Daphne 
cannabina, Crataegus crenulata^ Viburnum coriaceum^ Randia 
tetrasperma, and Ilex excelsa. Patches of Gleichenia longissima 
occur in hollows. Pteris aquilina is sporadic. 
Two species of Anaphalis had flowered very abundantly over the 
grassy parts of the hill top, where grew also Potentilla fulgens, 
in the most shady places mosses and Selaginella were very abundant. 
Two species of Galium occurred. Pardanthus chinensis and an Ari-^ 
saema, perhaps A. concinnum, occurred. Swertia dilatata was very 
common, with Pratia begonifolia^ Sanicula europaea^ Tri folium 
repens^ Galinsoga parvijiora Myriactis nepalensis. 
The nectaries of Swertia dilatata appear better developed in 
Nepdi than in Sikkim. 
The vegetation on the Sangli Khola was found to be very like 
that at Kakni. But of plants not seen at Kakni were found on the 
Sangli khola: — Gynura angulosa^ Dichrocephala latifoliaj Anaphalis 
araneosa^ Anaphalis adnata^ and Maesa macrophylla. 
Lichens are not uncommon on the tree stems especially of Pyrus.
