Dolichos, and place it in the Glycinex, and, in my opinion, unite 
it most closely with the Johnia of Wight and Arnott, the 
Glycine javanica ( japonica ?) of Linn. 
In 1860 I entered this plant in the Bombay flora as a species 
of Johnia; and after a recent careful examination I remain of the 
same opinion. Uniflorusis an unfortunate name, as it has always

suppose it must be retained according to the rules of botanical 
etiquette. Wight and Arnott describe the seed of their Johma 
as peritropal ; the seed of the plant under notice is remarkably 
so, the radicle being unusually long, and lying closely parallel 
with the length of the seed. 
I propose therefore the name of Glycine (Johnia) uniflora 
for the Kooltee.
