A shrub, with slender terete green glabrous branchlets. Leaf 
13-2 in. long; petiole very short; bracts persistent, scariose, 
lanceolate acuminate, 4 in. long ; leaflets lanceolate, ?-1 in. long, 
2 in. broad, narrowed to the base and acute point, moderately 
firm in texture, green on both surfaces, glabrous above, with a 
thin coating of adpressed white bristly hairs beneath. Racemes 
2-3 in. long, dense upwards, lax lower down, on axillary 
peduncles 1-14 in. long; pedicels very short. Calyx g in. long, 
with a short tube and long linear-setaceous teeth. Corolla red, 
glabrous, half as long again asthe calyx. Ovary linear, glabrous, 
multiovulate. Pod not seen.—Central Madagascar, Baron 746! 
Allied to I. Heudelotii, Benth., of West Tropical Africa, and 
I. pedunculata (Hils. et Bojer), Baker in Trimen's Journ. 1882, 
p. 67. Probably this latter is identical with T. Bojeri, Vatke 
in Rel. Ruten. ii. 245; but the previously named J. Bojeri, Baker 
in Journ. Linn. Soc. xviii. 266, is a different species.

Fruticosa, ramulis dense pubescentibus, folis imparipinnatis breviter 
petiolatis, stipulis lineari-setaceis pilosis, foliolis 15-23 oblongis obtusis 
mucronatis distincte petiolulatis utrinque pilosis, racemis densis axillaribus 
peduneulatis folio sub:zquilongis, pedicellis brevibus, calycis pilosi tubo

calyx triplo longioribus, legumine lineari 5-6-spermo septato. 
A shrub or small tree, with densely pilose woody slender branch- 
lets. Leaves crowded, 3-4 in. long; petiole 1-3 in.; stipules 
as long as the petiole, persistent; leaflets 7-11-jugate, opposite, 
about 3 in. long, rounded at both ends, with a very distinct 
mucro, dark green and thinly pilose above, pale green and densely 
pilose with a brown costa beneath. Racemes copious, axillary, 
1-13 in. long, with a peduncle about as long; pedicels nearly as 
long as the calyx. Calyx 4l in. long, densely pilose; teeth 
setaceous, unequal, plumose, longer than the tube. Corolla 4 in. 
long, bright red; standard pilose on the back. Pod 1-14 in. 
long, 4; in. broad, straight, turgid, not torulose.— Central Mada- 
gascar, gathered long ago by Bojer and Lyall (241) and now by 
Baron (941). Closely allied to I. stachyodes, Lindl. Bot. Reg. 
xxix. t. 14, and the well-known Indian J. pulchella, Roxb.
