Burmese name Vhitpagan, Lao name Pi Chan. In the regions above 
indicated it occurs in the dry hill forests as a spreading tree of medium size. 
Hodgson, in a note attached to specimens in the Herbarium of the Reporter 
on Economic Products to the Government of India kindly lent to me by 
Mr. I. H. Burkill, says that it is “called in Burmese Pokthinmamyetkouk: 
(the eyelid of the Chameleon). This tree when it first puts forth its new 
leaves in March-April is pale salmon, changing quickly through pink, 
magenta, and purple to green. The flowers are violet in colour and are not 
sweet-scented. The tree attains (though rarely) a girth of over 6 feci and is 
40—60 feet in height." 
The typical form is distinguished from its allies by its stalked flower-nodes, 
the densely silky, almost shaggy standard of its flowers, and by its nearly 
glabrous calyx which darkens on drying. The specimens noted above show 
a little variation Loth in the pubescence of the ‘ух and in the form and 
clothing of the leafets. The latter, especially in the higher portions of the
