Travels in Peru and India by Sir Clements R. Markham

India._ [503] _Order of the Madras Government_, July 3rd, 1861, No. 1328. [504] _Secretary to the Government of India, to the Secretary to the Government of Fort St. George_, Dec. 9th, 1861. [505] I sent a smaller parcel of C. Condaminea seeds in a letter, which arrived first at Ootacamund, in the middle of February. Sixteen days after sowing, twelve seeds were found to have germinated; and early in March 138 seedlings were up, or 30 per cent. of the total number of seeds sown. The large parcel of seeds arrived at Ootacamund on March 4th, and were sown at once. See p. 570. [506] This is a variety of _C. nitida_. [507] The chinchona-plantations were commenced in Java in December
