104 MR. G. BENTHAM’S SYNOPSIS OF DALBERGIEJ, 
The Dalbergia elliptica, Spanoghe, referred here by Miquel, seems to 
me to read more like the Dalbergia volubilis, Roxb., with the pod inaccu- 
rately described. 
2. D. ROBUSTA, arborea, foliolis 13-21 oblongis ellipticisve mucronulatis 
novellis sericeis demum glabrescentibus membranaceis, racemis elon- 
' gatis simplicibus, floribus nodoso-fasciculatis, ovulis 6-8, legumine 
elongato-lanceolato utrinque acutato hinc anguste alato.— Dalbergia 
robusta, Roxb., DC. Prod. ii. р. 417, Wight Ic. t. 244 ; D. Krowei (v. 
Crowei), Roxb., Fl. Ind. iii. p.229.—Foliola quam in D. scandente palli- 
diora, subtus зере canescentia, et semper mucronulata, raro 1j poll. 
excedunt et ssepius anguste oblonga; rarius latiora et fere ovata v. obo- 
vata. Inflorescentia et flores D. scandentis. Legumen angustius, mono- 
spermum circa 14 poll., pleiospermum usque ad 2-23 poll. longum. 
Hab. East India, hilly districts; Ceylon, Macrae, Gardner, n. 246; 
Peninsula, Stocks; Assam, Griffith ; Khasiya and Chittagong, Hooker 
and Thomson. 
3. D. cuiNENsiS (Benth. Fl. Hong-Kong, MS.), arborea ?, foliolis 13-19 
oblongis ellipticisve obtusis v. acutiusculis muticis novellis sericeis 
demum glabrescentibus membranaceis, racemis folio subbrevioribus 
simplicibus, floribus nodoso-fasciculatis, ovulis 2, legumine oblongo 
utrinque acutato hinc angustissime alato.— Primo intuitu D. robustam 
refert sed foliola non mucronata et ovula in medio ovario 2, nec 
plurima infra medium sita. Foliola circiter pollicem longa. Racemi 
sub 4-pollicares. Nodi2-4-flor. Flores 4-5 lin., pedicello vix lineam 
excedente. Legumen (in specimine Oosimensi) 1 poll. v. paullo 
longius, medio 6 lin. latum, monospermum, glabratum, ala angustis- 
sima, sutura utrinque nervo elevato marginata at non dilatata ut in 
D. Cumingii. 
Hab. South China; Hong-Kong, Hance; Oosima Island, Wright. 
I have only seen Wright's specimens in fruit, and Hance's in flower; 
there must, therefore, still remain some doubt, until they shall have 
been seen both in flower and fruit from the same locality. 
` 4. D. POLYPHYLLA, foliolis 17-23 oblongo-ellipticis sublanceolatisve 
acutis supra glabris subtus sericeo-puberulis, racemis folio subbreviori- 
bus simplicibus, floribus nodoso-fasciculatis (ovulis pluribus?) legu- 
mine elongato-lanceolato utrinque acutato hinc anguste alato.— 
Brachypterum polyphyllum, Miq. Fl. Ned. Ind. i. p. 139.— Habitus, 
inflorescentia, et legumen D. scandentis, sed foliola numerosa et 
acutiora. Legumen 2-3-spermum, usque ad 3 poll. longum. 
Hab. Java, Horsfield. 
I have only seen a single fruiting speeimen, which appeared to me to 
be sufficiently distinct from the common D. scandens. 
5. D. CUMINGII, sp. n., arborea?, foliolis 7-17 oblongis submucronu- 
latis novellis sericeis demum glabrescentibus membranaceis, racemis
