1 Cynanchum-gendvangnoo — grows in the Cashmerean hills,
2 but is not officinal.

6 of Europeans at Lahore: it is not used medicinally.
7 Cynaracea dub — is a mountain-plant of Cashmere, and

18 Dactylus — The fruits of Phoenix Dactylifera are brought
19 from Mooltan to Lahore ; but, they are neither so large nor

24 #Daphne Mezereum, v. Mezereum.
25 Daphxe-S unnerka t — grows in the Cashmerean moun-
26 tains. The specimen I brought with me from Cashmere, not
27 having the flower, the botanists of Vienna could not decide upon
28 it further than that it is allied to Daphne gnidium # Daphne
29 oleoides. It is essentially different from Daphne cannabina ,
30 from which, in Nepaul, a paper is manufactured, according
