This differs from P. indicum in having numerous leaflets and 

 relatively small flowers, and from P. subvestitum in having 

 glabrous, distinctly punctate leaflets, and a shorter denser inflo- 

 rescence &c.

 Brit. ; Herb. Kew. 



This species is easily recognized by its large loose inflorescence 

 and long, almost filiform pedicels. The fruit-bearing specimens 

 collected by B. C. Henry are probably the same species, but there 

 is no foliage with the fruit; therefore it remains uncertain. 



Wallich's 5841, H. and I., from Tavoy, is the same or a closely 

 allied species.
