I have stated that the deodar is possibly a variety of the cedar of Lebanon ; this is now a prevalent opin- ion, which is strengthened by the fact that so many more Himalayan plants are now ascertained to be European, than had been supposed before they were compared with European specimens: such are the yew, juniperus communis, berberis vulgaris, quercus ballota, populus alba, and euphratica, &c.
