THE FLORA OF THE LUSHAI HILLS.
BY
CECIL E. C. FISCHER, I.F.S.
PRIOR to 1926 the Lushai Hills, including the Lakher Country, had received but scant attention from botanists; indeed, the only record of botanical observations in this tract that I have been able to trace is by Lieut. (now Col.) A. T. Gage, I.M.S., being an account of " A Botanical Tour in the South Lushai Hills ", published in No. 13 of Vol. I of the Records of the Botanical Survey of India in 1901. This journey occupied about five weeks in March and April 1899 and collections were made while on the march from Chittagong to Lungleh and back and within a radius of 15 miles of Lungleh. The number of species collected was 317, of which 291 were Phanerogams and 26 Cryptogams.
From 1924 to 1928 Mrs. N. E. Parry enthusiastically embraced the opportunity afforded to her while her husband was in administrative charge of the Lushai Hills District to make a collection of the plants of the region. .Some of these were sent to the Sibpur Herbarium but the majority were remitted to the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew, where, also, some, notably orchids, have been successfully grown from roots and seeds 'presented at the same time.
From 1926 to 1932 the Reverend W. J. L. Wenger of the Baptist Mission at Lungleh, also collected in these hills. He too presented some of his specimens to Sibpur but sent the greater number to Kew. In this case also some of the plants have been grown in the Kew Gardens.
In addition, smaller collections made by the Reverend R. A. Lorrain of the Pioneer Mission to the Lakhers at Sherkor, and by his daughter Mrs. Lorrain-Foxall, were presented to Kew.
Finally, a very few species not included in the above-mentioned gather, ings have been cited in literature as having been found in the region.
All these sources have been drawn upon in the compilation of the appended list. I have not seen the specimens collected by Lieut. Gage ; the information concerning them has been extracted from his paper quoted above. Those sent by Mrs. Parry to Sibpur and identified there, I have also not seen; they are included from a list kindly sent to me by Mr. C. C. Calder, Director of the Botanical Survey of India. They are distinguished in the list by an asterisk. Mr. Wenger's collec-tions were made in the South Lushai Hills. Those he sent to Sibpur were kindly lent to me for examination and appear in the list with a pre-fixed " C The Lorrain specimens are all from the Lakher country in the vicinity of Sherkor.

76 RECORDS OF THE BOTANICAL SURVEY OF INDIA.
An absorbing account of the Lakher country and its inhabitants has been published by Mr. N. E. Parry, I.C.S., under the title :of " The Lakhers ". In Appendix VII of that work there is a list of the plants known at the time to occur in the whole Lushai Hills District which com-prises 930 species and in addition a few other plants not specifically determined. It includes some 50 species that do not appear in any of the above-mentioned sources; apparently they were named at Sibpur but were not included in the list sent to me. They now find place in the general list and are to be recognised by the addition of " Parry Ti."
It is not, of course, claimed that anything like a full flora of the region is enumerated here, but it is thought that a published list will be of mate-rial assistance to botanists and others interested in the area, and it is hoped that it may stimulate residents in the region to make further
botanical researches there. The following list includes 1,360 species of which 892 are Dicotyle-
dons, 307 Monocotyledons, 6 Gymnosperms and 155 Cryptogams. Eighteen of the plants collected by Mrs. Parry and 7 of those received from Mr. Wenger proved new to science.
The following families are the best represented, the figures in brackets after each denote the actual number of species :—
Acanthacete and Compositoe (57) ; Orchidacete (54) ; Rubiacew (53) ; PapilionacenT (42) ; [Leguminosm 68].
The Graminem (39) were rather neglected or they would occupy a far more prominent position.
The genera with more than 12 species are :— Dendrobium (29) ; Strobilanthes (20) ; Polypodium (18) ; Begonia
(16) ; Dryopteris (15) ; Ccelogyne (14) ; Ficus (13). My thanks are tendered to the following of my colleagues in the Kew
Herbarium who named the specimens of the sections noted against their names below :—
Mr. F. Ballard—some of the Cryptogams and some of the Gra-minete; and for much assistance in the nomenclature of the Cryptogams.
Mr. C. E. Hubbard—most of the Gramineve. Dr. J. Hutchinson—the Rhododendrons. Mr. V. Summerhayes—the Orchidaceue. Mr. C. 11. Wright—the rest of the Cryptogams.
I am also obliged to Mr. C. C. Calder and his assistants at Sibpur for their help.

SOME NEW NORTH-WEST HIMALAYAN
MOSSES.
BY
H. N. DIXON, M.A., F.L.S., Northampton (England)
AND
R. L. BADHWAR, M.Sc., Calcutta.
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
IN the summer of the year 1928 one of the writers visited Dalhousie, Chamba, Pangi, Lahul, Spiti, Lingti plain, Zanskar, and Kulu
with the late Rai Bahadur Prof. S. R. Kashyap for about three months. The whole of this period was devoted almost exclusively to the study and collection of mosses. About 1,000 specimens were collected among which there were several new species and one new Genus together with many new records and rare ones. It is particularly unfortunate that some of the mosses were sterile and defy identification.
The present paper deals with some of the new species collected during the above period except that Blindia campylopodioides and Brachythecium subre,ctocarpum by other collectors from the same region have been added. Where no collector is mentioned it is to be understood that these specimens were collected by Badhwar, and the numbers in brackets refer to his collecting numbers.
The Latin description of every new species, together with its habitat and critical notes, is followed by a fuller description of the same in English in the hope that it will be useful to those, especially Indian students, who may find some difficulty in understanding the Latin descriptions.
All the new plants mentioned herein are placed in the Punjab Uni-versity Herbarium. As a matter of fact, the whole of the collection is now in the same Herbarium. A complete list of the plants collected is under preparation and will
be published, together with the other necessary data, in the near future. The authors take the present opportunity of expressing their grateful
thanks to the late Prof. Kashyap and Mr. C. C. Calder for the valuable suggestions they made during the progress of work on the above men-tioned collection of mosses.

GENERAL TOPOGR 1PIIIC YE REM tRI(S.
Geographical.
In the parts visited, the Himalayas form three more or less parallel ranges running south-east to north-west. The outermost is the outer Himalaya: the middle, the Middle Himalaya which is separated from the outer by Chamba, i.e., Ravi Valley ; and the inner is called the Inner Himalaya which is separated from the middle by the Chandra-Bhaga valley, i.e., Pangi and Labial. Beyond this lies the trans-himalayan region (Ladakh).
The outer Himalaya has a mean altitude of about 15,000 ft. though some peaks rise up to 17,000 ft. Most of the hill stations for summer for the Punjab are situated on this range at an elevation of about 6,000 ft. to 7,000 ft. The passes in this range are about 8,000 ft. high. The Middle Himalaya has a mean elevation of about 17,000 ft., though some peaks rise to 19;000 ft. The passes range from 13,000 ft. to 17,000 ft. The inner range has a mean altitude of about 18,000 ft., though sonic peaks rise to more than 20,000 ft. Passes range from 17,000 ft. to
18,000 ft. in Pangi. (Imperial Gazetteer of India.)
General Remarks.
In the Punjab plains the summer is hot and dry and mosses which require moisture during their growing season are greatly handicapped. Winter, however, is not so hostile. As a result of these climatic con-ditions they are found growing only in shady and moist places, i.e., in gardens, in flower pots, along the river banks, and water channels, etc. They gradually increase in number from the plains to the moun-tains till between 5,000 ft. to 7,000 ft. they are at their best. Here the rainfall is greatest. At Dalhousie, for example, the annual average
rainfall is 83-88 inches. This area may be called their true home where they are found at almost every place--on trees, on stones, on soil, in caves, in swampy places, near water, actually under still or flowing water, and numerous other similar places. Even in this area they are more numerous in moist and shady places than on relatively exposed ones. Thus wherever there are numerous trees and other shrubs afford-ing good shade, mosses occur in plenty. Trees are covered densely with sev eral species but the Oak--Quercus ineana Roxb.—seems to be the most hospitable and its stems are often entirely covered with them. As a rule, they are more abundant on lower portions of the trees but gradually become less and less towards the top. Epiphyllous mosses so common in the Eastern Himalayas are extremely rare in the North-Western Himalayas. It is a curious fact, however, that they are almost

always absent on the pines—a fact which is also confirmed by observa-tions in other parts of the Himalayas. The phenomenon may be argued to be due to the resin, but there are other trees like Cedrus, etc., that also contain resin yet mosses do grow on them. The problem, at any
park rate, requires further investigation. e outP pant
Ravi Valley. calle bY Coming to the Ravi valley, i.e., the valley between the Outer Hima-215 laya and Middle Himalaya, one finds that at lower altitude, e.g., near
Chamba City, the climate is of a semi-tropical nature; the heat is great thoul and rainy season well marked, while the winter is mild and snowfall
light. From the capital upwards conditions are more severe and vary ,,00111 from temperate to semi-arctic. Arctic conditions prevail along the 1. high ranges for several months in winter. The rainfall here is not very soy high. At Chamba, which is situated at an altitude of 3,027 ft., the Off annual average rainfall is 47-6". (Chamba Gazetteer.) hiii On the left bank of the Ravi, i.e., on the northern slopes of the Outer II m Ilimalaya„ the number of individuals is less than on the southern slopes
of the Outer Himalaya. There is not so much abundance of these tiny plants as on the southern slopes. The number of individuals found at higher levels, however, is quite large. On lower levels, i.e., near Chamba, epiphytic mosses are almost wholly absent and the only forms that grow there are found near water or other shady and moist places. why A few, however, are also found on exposed places as well. The number
aPPtt gradually increases with the rise in altitude. e en:i
Comparing the right bank of the Ravi with the left bank, i.e., southern s,
slopes of the Middle Himalaya with the northern slopes of the Outer Himalaya, one finds that there is a well marked decrease in their number mou on the right bank. The rocks here for the most part are dry, barren, and shadeless. Earth and rock mosses are much less abundant as compared with those on the left bank. The epiphytic mosses also
wbr suffer a decrease. The number of mosses, however, near water is by
91. no means small. The highest epiphytic moss was collected at about
nirr 10,000 ft. Above this level comparatively few mosses are found and, except a few, all are confined to permanently moist places, till near the Sauch Pass-14,300 ft.—they are practically absent. The last moss collected in this valley was at about 13,500 ft., and was found more or

the annual average rainfall is 23 inches including winter (melted) snow, while the average annual rainfall not including winter snowfall is 6 inches (Kulu Gazetteer). The mosses have suffered a still greater reduction so far as the number of individuals is concerned. Apart from the decrease in rainfall there is another factor that is responsible
for the decrease of mosses here. In Chamba-Lahul and upper Chandra and Bhaga valleys the rocks are broken into pieces every year by the snow, thus allowing no time to the mosses to grow there, according to the well known proverb " A rolling stone gathers no moss ". Again, at higher levels in this valley it is extremely cold which is another factor against them. Rainfall here does not count as a factor at all in the distribution of mosses. It is very small and, therefore, has no effect.
Comparing the left and the right banks of Chandra-Bhaga, i.e., the northern slopes of the Middle Himalaya with the southern slopes of the Inner Himalaya, however, level for level, the left bank is richer in moss
flora than the right bank. Pangi is comparatively richer than Lahul, subject to the condition
of rocks. On the whole the number of mosses on exposed places has decreased further as compared with the Ravi valley. The epiphytic mosses are extremely few and were found in Pangi only. Up the Chandra-Bhaga the number of mosses on exposed places falls, there being not much difference between the mosses near water. These remarks are naturally subject to the condition of rocks. On higher levels although some Junipers are present yet no moss grows on them. At still higher levels almost all the mosses are found near water. On exposed places, however, the stone mosses have practically disappeared and here and there one finds a few soil molses only, which are usually found under the shade of some stones, or very seldom on exposed places.
The upper Chandra valley near Baralacha Pass-16,017 ft.—deserves special mention. Here the rainfall is exceedingly low ; cold and pier-cing winds blow; almost every night is frosty even in summer. Mosses that grow here are covered with frost at night but have to meet the scorching sun in day time. The winter snow crushes down the hills every year. In response to so very hostile conditions that are prevalent there even the few mosses that were found on stones and exposed places before, are, with very few exception, altogether absent. The only species worth mentioning that are found here grow on permanently moist situations or along the banks of slow running streams which do not erode their banks like other swift running streams which are con-tinually eroding their banks and thus allow no time to the mosses to grow. In the upper Chandra valley, therefore, mosses are not always found even near water. Here they are very much reduced both in the number of species and individuals, The condition of rocks plays an
important part.

Spiti.
In Spiti, the conditions are the same as in the upper Chandra valley. There were a few cultivated willows at Losar (about 13,000 ft.) but no moss was found on them.
Lingti plain.
Lingti plain—beyond the main range—is an extremely cold, tree-less, and shadeless tract of country like the upper Chandra valley. Initial level is higher than any other area visited, never going below 13,000 ft. Comparing the number of mosses on the southern side of the main range with the trans-himalayan region, height for height, there is no appreciable difference as one ought to have expected by the generalisation previously arrived at, that on the southern side of a range the moss flora is comparatively richer than on the northern side of that range. This important deviation may be explained by the fact that conditions are similar at both places. Here also the mosses are found only at places where permanent moisture is available, of course, subject to the condition of rocks. Very rarely a few mosses were found growing on exposed soil and stones. It may be of interest to remark here that the upper Chandra valley resembles very much the trans-himalayan region even as regards the flowering plants.
Zanslear.
The Zanskar valley also resembles, more or less, the Lingti plain in its moss flora, with the difference, that the flora is slightly richer due to the better condition of rocks which are not much broken down. At many places they are torn into pieces and at such places mosses are absent, but such barren places are comparatively fewer here,
Beas Valley.
In the Beas Valley the flora is very rich although the rainfall is not so high, the average annual rainfall being 49.4" at Nagar and 39.74"
at Sultanpur. (Kuhn Gazetteer.) But the valley is broad and surrounded by hills on all sides. The forest trees add to the shade and there are plenty of streams. The greatest luxuriance is reached from 6,000 ft. to 9,000 ft. The last epiphytic moss again was found here at about 10,000 ft. on the road side.

The position in the genus is doubtful ; the peristome is perhaps too well developed for Cacodon, and it is best placed, perhaps, in Eu-Polilia; but the comparatively rudimentary endostome separates it from the bulk of the species of the group. The cell walls of the exothecium are not sinuose ; on the other hand they are all curved, not rectilinear. The minute size, the small, rounded capsule almost without neck give it the appearance of 11Iniobryum carneum.

Hab. Moist places, fleas valley (Rotung Pass to Manali) fairly common at about 8,000 ft.; 4th Sept. 1928 (No. 1138).
Remarkable in two ways; firstly in having the peristome teeth distinctly vertically striolate in the upper part (below papillose), as in many Dicranacew, a character unique, probably, in the genus, if not in the Family; and secondly in the very close resemblance to the pre-ceding species, W. carneoides. This has not the striolate teeth, but in all other respects the peristome is identical, the habit and leaves are similar; the stems and seta are however rather longer, and the capsule of quite different form, narrow, curved and somewhat gibbous, with a longer lid. Antheridia have not been seen but from the close relation-ship to W. carneoides, it would seem likely that the inflorescence is paroicous.

Itryum micrococlileare Dix. & Badhw., sp. nov.
§ Ca3spitibryum. Humile, dense crespitosum, gracile, flavo-viride. Clanks madidi julacei, ramosi ; folia dense imbricata, cymbiformia, parva, late ovata vel oblongo-ovata, tenera, apice late rotundato, sub-obtuso, costa tennis, in cuspidem vel aristam srepe recurvatam squar-rosam excurrens ; margines erecti, hand limbati ; cellulte parvre angustre, tenerce, chlorophyllosre, ad margines vix angustiores. Cetera ignota.
Hab. On stones, Beas valley (Rotung Pass to Malian), 11,000 ft. ; 4th Sept. 1928 (No. 1,101 type). On soil and stones, ibidem (Nos. 1,118, 1,124). A distinct little species with habit of B. Comino De Not., B. Kunzei
Hornsch., &c., but quite marked in the leaves with unbordered, plane margins and widely rounded, almost obtuse at the apex, in no way acuminate or even narrowed. When dry the nerve points are frequently strongly squarrose as in some forms of B. argenteum.
(Delicate plants forming dense, seldom lax cushions with yellowish or greenish play of colours, shining, cm. or less high, branched. Leaves very small and distant on lower portion of innovations, the rest imbricate usually in gemmiform comal tufts, hardly altered when dry, cymbiform, small, broadly ovate or ovate-oblong, entire, apex rounded or subobtuse, margin erect, not bordered ; rib excurrent in a cuspidate or aristate point which is often squarrosely recurred especially when dry ; cells somewhat rectangular below, the upper more usually without any definite shape and narrow, occasionally however rhomboid, rhomboidish-hexagonal or nearly so, chlorophyllose).
Philonotis traehyphylla Dix. & Badhw., sp. nov.
Gracilis, dense crespitosa, superne viridis, infra. nigrescens. Folia latiuscule ovato-lanceolata, paullo concava, hand plicata ; margines a.ut omnino plaid aut anguste recurvati ; costa tenuiuscula, in cuspidem longam subfiexuosam denticulatam excurrens. Cellulae omnes, nisi in acumine, latiusculre, basilares subquadratw, superiores breviter rectangulares, omnes fere dorso papilla alta pariete inferiore preeditm. Cetera ignota.
Hab. Moist soil, Zanskar (below Shingo-la), 15,500 ft.; 27th Aug-1928 (No. 931 type). Lahul—Bhaga valley (Ramzak to Rampozampa), 12,500 ft. (No. 965).
The position is doubtful, but is probably in Philonotula. In the leaf form it is rather like a miniature P. fontana, with broader
leaves than in most of the small species, but the leaves are quite without phew, and the small, wide cells and high papillas are marked characters. The margin is often quite plane.
(Densely crespitose ; slender plants forming wide tufts of somewhat greenish colour above, blackish-brown below, 1-3 cm. high. Leaves

erecto-patent to suberect, appressed when dry, 1 mm. or less long, broadly ovate-lanceolate, somewhat concave, not plicate, rough, margin narrowly recurved or plane, toothed, more distinctly so near apex; rib excurrent in a short to long, subflexuose, denticulate cuspidate point ; cells mostly broad, subquadrate below, shortly rectangular above, with a few narrowly rhomboidish or very few pentangular cells towards the
apex, furnished with high papillre.)
Philimotis fragilieuspis Dix. sp. nov. (See Annal. Bryol. III, 62).
Pitilonotis tontana (Hedw.) Brid., nov. var. ambigua Dix. & Badhw.
Gracilis; folia plerumque falcato-secunda, minuscula, basi leniter plicata. Folia stipitis masculi caulinis similia, swpius falcato-secunda. Cetera ut in P. fontana. (Fructus haud visus).
Hab. Near water, Lahul—Bhaga valley (Kyelang to Jispa) 10,000 ft. ; 7th Aug. 1928 (No. 751).
P. fontana normally has the upper leaves of the male branch dis-tinctly differentiated from those of the sterile and fertile stems ; here they are quite similar. The male bracts, however, and other characters do not differ from those of P. fontana, and it seems most satisfactory to place it here.
(Slender plants 3-5.5 cm. high. Leaves small, mostly falcato-seeund, appressed when dry, slightly plicate below. Upper leaves of the male branch similar to those of the sterile and fertile stems. Fruit not present).

Hab. On rocks, Dalhousie, 6,500 ft.; 30th June 1928 (No. 339). Differs at once from the dioicous species in the less rigid habit, with
curved branches and secund leaves, which are much more shortly and widely pointed, sometimes almost obtuse.

Hab. Dalhousie, Oct., 1917, coll. Kinnear (No. 500). Rather distinct in the sub-cylindric, bright orange-brown capsule,
much narrowed below the mouth when dry, and the smooth seta. B. emodi-glaucton Broth. (med. in Levier, Exsiccati), which occurs in the same locality, has a similar capsule, but quite different, plicate, longly acuminate leaves.
(Yellowish; loosely tufted, elongate, plumosely foliate. Stem leaves rather large, 1.5-1•75 mm. long, not plicate, cordate-ovate, shortly and narrowly acuminate, often half-twisted, denticulate. Rib strong at base, much narrowed above, vanishing at base of acumen. Margin narrowly recurved at base. Cells very narrow,

Hab. On stones, Beas valley, 11,000 ft. ; 4th Sept. 1928 (No. 1,103). Very distinct in the turgid stems and branches, the wide, very shortly
pointed leaves, short, smooth or almost smooth seta, and inclined, short, almost symmetrical capsule. In this it much resembles B. .falcatulum (Broth.) Par., but the vegetative characters are quite different. B. brevipes Broth. (Med. in Levier, Exsiccati) is also much like it in fruit, but has longer, curved capsule, and much more finely acuminate leaves.
(Small plants in golden-green, shining tufts with numerous, short, irregular, closely set, turgid branches which are densely interwoven together, procumbent. Leaves placed in terete order, very concave, imbricate when dry, broadly cordate-ovate, rather shortly pointed to cuspidate, denticulate above ; rib disappearing below apex, mostly geniculate ; cells chlorophvllose, narrow, basal scarcely broader, alar cells few, minute, obscure, subquadrate or shortly rectangular. Autoi-cous. Perichatial leaves very small, erect, shortly cuspidate, inner ones longer. Seta 1 cm. long, slightly thick, almost but not exactly smooth (distantly minutely muriculate). Capsule 41,, x1 mm., turgid., oblong-elliptic, suddenly ending in seta below, suberect, almost sym-metrical. Lid arched-conical, almost acute. Spores 13-19 ti.).
