A. barbdta Meyer (our fig. 1522.), -^- obtusifolia Royle, is very abundant on the banks of the Jumna and Tonce. A. elongdta Royle occurs in Cashmere; and A. ne- paleims Wall. (PI. As. Rar. t. 131.) on the moun- tains surrounding the valley from which it was named. (/&««. p. 341.) It appears probable, that A. nepal^nsis, a tree from 30 ft. to 40 ft. high, may prove sufhciently hardy to bear the climate of London. A. subcor- data Meyer (^owxfig. 1523.) was raised from seeds in the Birmingham Bo- tanic Garden in 1838 ; and A. jorullensis in the Horticultural Society's Garden in 1839. A. aeMmina/a Humb. et Bonpl. (Mem. Mus. vol. xiv. p. 464. t. 22.; our_;?g. 1524.) has the leaves ovate, or ovate-oblong, acuminate, roundish at the base, doubly serrated, glabrous above; the veins downy beneath. Panicle naked. Female catkins terminal. {Mirb.) A tree. Peru. Leaves 3 in. to 6 in. long, and l^in. to 3 in. broad. A. castaneifo- lid Mirb. (Mem. Mus. vol. xiv. t. 21. ;and our_;?g. 1525.) has the leaves oblong- elliptic, blunt, repand, or ob- long- lanceolate, erose or den- tate, petiolate; glabrous above; the axils of the veins downy beneath, panicle leafy at the base. Male catkins leafy, erect. (Mirb.) A tree. Tarma in Peru. Leaves 3 in. to 5 in. long, and 10 lin. to 15 lin. broad. Stipules small, glabrous, membranaceous, linear-lanceolate, catkins 1 in. to 2 in. long, more slender than in A. glutinosa, and-4 or 5 in a panicle. Female catkins about 2 in. long, 4 or 5 on a common pedicel. (Mem. Mus., xiv. 464.). Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digit
