Hab. Bombay. 
This plant comes near to the Dolichos punctatus (A. punctata, 
mihi) of Wight and Arnott, but is certainly distinct, as the stipels, 
which are wanting in that species, are present in this. Dolichos 
punctatus seems to be a species of Atylosia, as well as Cajanus 
Kulnensis and Goensis, from Bombay, both of which are furnished 
with stipels. 
Note.— Messrs. Wight and Arnott, in their * Prodromus,” state 
that théy were induced to separate four species of plants from 
Cajanus, DC., on account of their persistent corolla, the absence 
of callosities, the large carunculus to the seed, and the foliage, 
which was palmately trifoliolate, and not pinnately so as in Ca- 
janus; and now these four species are associated with others, from 
which they differ very much in habit and appearance, and which 
have all the peculiarities which induced the separation from Caja- 
nus except the large carunculus to the seed. In fact, Atylosia 
Candollii and its congeners are so like Cajanus indicus in their 
erect, twiggy, suffruticose habit, that the natives of India call 
them both by the same name, Cajanus being the Toor, and Atylosia 
Lawii being the Rantoor or wild Toor. As regards the callosities 
on the vexillum and the foliage, these are, according to my expe- 
rience, of specific value only. Atylosia, as now established, differs 
from Cajanus only in having the bifid carunculus large, while in 
Cajanus it is very small.
