A TRIBE OF LEGUMINOSA. | 105 
folio subbrevioribus simplicibus, floribus nodoso-fasciculatis, ovulis 2, 
legumine lineari-oblongo utrinque acutato cano-sericeo, sutura vexillari 
suberose-dilatato angusteque alato.—Foliola fere D. Chinensis sed 
costa sepius in mucronulam excurrit, foliorum superiorum acuta, 
inferiorum obtusissima. Racemi 3-4-pollicares, novelli sericei. Bracteze 
longe subulate, in racemo juniore carnose, mox deciduz. Flores 
quam in D. Chinensi minores. Legumen monospermum, 11 poll. 
longum, fere 4 lin. latum inclusa ala 3-lineari, pube adpressa sericea 
canescens, sutura vexillari fere ut in Lonchocarpis Neuroscaphis 
dilatata. | 
Hab. Philippine Islands, Cuming, n. 1908. 
6. D. PARVIFLORA, scandens, glabra, foliolis 7-9 ellipticis v. oblongis 
brevissime acuminatis membranaceis subtus subglaucescentibus, ra- 
cemis folio subbrevioribus simplicibus, floribus nodoso-subfascicu- 
latis, ovulis 2, legumine lineari apice oblique apiculato hinc alato 
glabro.—Brachypterum elegans, Thw. Enum. Pl. Ceyl. p. 93 (non 
Derris elegans, Benth.).—Tota glaberrima. Foliola 1}-2 poll. longa. 
Racemi in specimine 2-3-pollicares v. (ex Thwaites) folia (4-pollicaria) 
zquantes. Pedicelli 2 lin. longi. Nodi pauciflori, inferiorum rhachis 
paullulum elongata. Flores circa 3 lin. longi. Calyx siccitate nigricans. 
Legumen ex Thw. 13-23 poll. longum, 6 lin. latum. 
Hab. Ceylon, Thwaites. 
7. D. FLORIBUNDA, scandens, foliolis 5 ovato-oblongis obtuse acumi- 
natis glabris preter costam subtus aveniis, paniculis lateralibus 
multifloris, floribus parvis fasciculatis, staminibus monadelphis.— 
Brachypterum floribundum, Miq. Fl. Ned. Ind. i. p. 139.—Foliola 
23-33-pollicaria. Panicule villosule, semipedales. Flores vix 3 lin. 
longi. 
Hab. Java, Horsfield. 
The pod being unknown, the affinities of this species are uncertain, 
but it seems to be nearly allied to the two following. 
8. D. LAXIFLORA, sp. n., scandens, foliolis sub-5 oblongis obtusis sub- 
coriaceis nitidulis glabris, paniculis elongatis laxifloris nodis elongato- 
racemiformibus, ovulis in medio ovario circa 4.—Foliola fere D. 
scandentis, sed pleraque majora et rigidiora, utrinque nitida et viridia. 
Panicula 4-1-pedalis, basi ramo uno alterove elongato instructa, ra» 
mulis ceteris brevibus (fasciculorum rhaches elongate). Pedicelli 
sparsi, 3-4 lin..longi. Flores semipollicares. Legumen non visum. 
Hab. Formosa, north-west coast, Wilford. 
The fruit being unknown, the exact relation of this species also is un- 
certain, but it seems to be nearly allied to the last and the next, except 
that the flowers are nearly twice the size, 
9. D. PANICULATA, scandens, foliolis 5-7 oblongis obtusis subcoriaceis 
glabris, panicula terminali ampla ramosissima adpresse pubescente
