creeping plant, foliis ranunculaceis floribus solitariis hypocrateriform
albis. No Buxus or Delphinum was observed, in any other glens than the
first crossed. Alnus became common soon, the pines disappeared, Osmundia
common, Primula rotundifolia, Paris polyphylla, Bletia as of Churra at
Punukha, Sphaeropteris.

Benthamium in flower, Gaultheria arborea, here of large size, pines cease
without changing the elevation, Q. ferruginea ceased, this is limited to
dry spots.

The first change indicated by the appearance of Laurineae, and Symplocos
among oaks and chesnuts. The woods continued thick for some time, but on
commencing the descent, which is gradual, especially at first, Q. robur
is common, Gaultheria arborea, Rhododendron minus.

Phytolacea, also at 6,500 feet, and as low as 4,000 feet, Senecio
