490 MR. 8S. TROYTE DUNN ON 
In its occasional independence of support, when it forms a 
large bush, it differs from all previously known Spatholobi. In 
other respects it resembles S. Roxburghii, Benth., from which it 
can be distinguished by its different calyx-teeth and by the tufts 
in the vein-axils of its leaves. 
Spatholobus varians, Dunn; species S. purpureo, Benth., 
affinis, nervis ascendentibus, stipellisque magnis divergens. 
Frutex alte scandens (A. Henry), caulibus foliisque pilis 
adpressis sericeis deciduis, et pubescentia obscura adpressa per- 
sistente tectis. Folia trifoliolata, petiolis fere bis longiora ; foliola 
subcoriacea, reticulata, nitentia, ovata vel obovata, basi sepius 
cuneata, apice obtusa, apiculata vel breviter acuminata, 3}-9 
poll. longa; nervi ascendentes intraque marginem procurrentes ;

Similar to S. acuminatus, Benth., which differs chiefly in its 
smaller stipels and its leaf-venation. The abundant material 
sent home by the collector under the above numbers was found 
to vary so much in the shape and size of its leaves and in the 
character of the calyx, that it seemed at first as if several species 
were present. A further examination, however, showed that 
the variations sometimes occurred on one and the same specimen. 
Dolichos Lagopus, Dunn ; inter species asiaticas leguminibus 
hispidis distinguitur. 
Caules super frutices scandens (A. Henry), petiolique pilis 
brevibus luteis dense tecti. Folia trifoliolata, petiolis 14-4-plo 
longiora; foliola subcoriacea, utrinque molliter hirsuta, ovata 
vel rhomboidea, acuminata, 23-4 poll. longa. Racemi axillares, 
petiolis breviores, vel extra-axillares sessiles. Flores conferti, 
6-8 lin. longi. Calyx pedicello multo brevior, et cum eo pedun- 
culoque griseo- vel luteo-hirsutus, dentibus tubus longioribus, 
lineari-lanceolatis superiore breviter bifido. Corolla purpurea 
(A. Henry), calyce vix longior. Stamen vexillare, basi appen- 
diculatum. Stylus filiformis ; stigma terminale, annulo pilorum
