A shrub, glabrous in all its parts, with very slender terete 
brown branchlets. Leaf-rhachis 5-6 in. long, including the L-in. 
petiole; leaflets 11-2 in. long, moderately firm in texture, green 
on both surfaces; petiolules } in. long. Flowers in an ample

DALBERGIA PTEROCARPIFLORA, n. Sp. 
D. ramulis glabris, foliis im paripinnatis foliolis 11-13 oblongis acutis vel 
obtusis glabris, panicule ramis brevibus patulis paucifloris, calyce pro 
genere magno, tubo campanulato dentibus ovatis tubo zequilongis, petalis 
calyce sesquilongioribus, staminibus monadelphis, legumime stipitato 
tenui ligulato glabro seepissime 2-spermo. 
A shrub or small tree, with slender terete branchlets.  Leaf- 
rhachis 4—6 in. long; leaflets thin, glabrous, under an inch long. 
Panicles copious, with a pubescent rhachis and many short spread- 
ing branches; pedicels about as long as the calyx. Calyx $ in. 
long. Corolla $ in. long. Pod thin, 2-24 in. long, under half 
an inch broad, narrowed toa distinct pedicel twice as long as 
the calyx.— Baron, next 5860 and 5671! 
DERRIS ? POLYPHYLLA, n. sp. 
D. ramis lignosis ferrugineo-pubescentibus, foliis imparipinnatis, foliolis 
17-19-jugis lineari-oblongis obtusis, panicula ramis elongatis sericeis 
nodis incrassatis, pedicellis 2-3nis brevibus, calyce tubo campanulato 
dentibus minutis, petalis rubellis calyce triplo longioribus, staminibus 
submonadelphis, ovario lineari piloso, stylo incurvato. 
Branchlets woody, terete, densely pubescent. ^ Leaf-rhachis 
half a foot long, including the short petiole; leaflets opposite, 
about an inch long, moderately firm in texture, green and 
glabrous on both surfaces. Inflorescence a terminal panicle 
with several dense racemes half a foot long, with a rigid rhachis, 
with flowers fascicled from the raised swollen nodes. Calyx 
silky, j in. diam. Petals 4 in. long; standard orbicular. Upper 
stamen free towards the base. Pod not seen. — North-west 
Central Madagascar, Baron 5381! Seems, so far as material 
goes, near the Indian Derris (§ Brachypterum) scandens, which 
has similarly fascicled flowers and raised nodes.
