63. D. spinosa (Rozb. Fl. Ind. iii. p. 233), fruticosa, glabra, spi- 
nescens, foliolis 7—11 cuneato-oblongis obtusissimis retusisve, racemis

formi v. sublunulato.— D. korrida, Grah. in Wall. Catal. n. 5877 ex

vix 2 lineas excedunt. Calyx tenuis, submembranaceus, glaber. Pe- 
talorum ungues breves. Legumen vix pollicare, quam in D. mono- 
sperma latius, et sepius reniforme quam lunulatum, minusque incras- 
satum, interdum vero omnino D. monosperme conforme. 
Hab. East India, Chittagong, Roxburgh ; Sunderbunds, Hamilton; also 
in the Peninsula from a single imperfect specimen, Wight, n.798. — 
64. D. inunpata (Benth. in Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), foliolis 29- 
35, anguste oblongis obtusis novellis inflorescentiaque aureo-sericeis 
demum glabratis subtus discoloribus, calycis dentibus acutis, staminibus

longi, breviter pedicellati. Stamen vexillare et interdum сагіпаје 
liberum, cetera isadelpha,v. 9connata. Legumen subsessile, lunulatum, 
10-22 lin. longum, 5 lin. latum, ut in D. monosperma crassiusculum. 
Hab. North Brazil, Spruce, distributed originally in flower as Miscolo- 
bium inundatum, and afterwards in fruit as Drepanocarpus discolor. 
Doubtful Species. 
D. Mooniana, Thw. Enum. Ceyl. Pl. p. 93, from Ceylon, is known only 
from fruiting specimens, which differ much from the rest of the genus, 
both in the pod, which is nearly that of a Derris, and in inflorescence ; 
whilst the alternate leaflets preclude the enumerating it under the latter - 
genus. It must remain doubtful until the flower has been seen. 
D. rotundifolia, Sond. Linnea, v. 23, p. 35, from South Africa, de- 
Scribed from fruiting specimens only, is more probably a Lonchocarpus. 
I have not, however, seen the specimens myself.
