TO THE COURT OF AVA. 33 
Dr. Wallieh found here a greater number of new 
and interesting species than in any other place, ex¬ 
cepting the range of hills north-east of Ava. The 
following are some of the most remarkable; viz. a 
large species of Cacalia, with deep orange-coloured 
blossoms; a species of Codonopsis , hitherto only 
found in Nepal; a Buellia , remarkable for having 
its stem and branches covered with a milkwhite 
down ; the Porona Paniculata , with its profuse 
and highly ornamental blossoms; a new species 
of Erantkemum , first found by Dr. Wallieh in 
the range of hills north-east of Ava ; a handsome 
Porderie , a stately Arundo , several mosses, and Jun - 
germannia in flower, and several ferns, amongst 
which was one elegant new species. 
The ship had dropped down slowly, and we join¬ 
ed her at two o’clock. We had now taken leave 
of the hilly country, the natural boundary of the 
Burman race, and entered into the Delta of the 
Irawadi, the native country of the Peguans. At 
four in the afternoon, we passed the large and po¬ 
pulous village of Kiyan-k’han, on the west bank 
of the river, which we had not seen in going up, 
as we then ascended by the eastern bank. Here 
a very considerable number of merchant-boats 
were lying along the bank. This place, although 
governed only by a Myosugi, has the rank of a 
Myo, but is without walls or stockade. The dis¬ 
trict attached to it is productive in rice ; and the 
cattle employed in husbandry are said to amount
