A tall erect tree, the ultimate branches clothed with short erect grey-brown silky 

 pubescence. Leaflets like those of D. lancerAaria in shape, size and texture. PantcU 

 very different, mainly terminal, but much less ample, the branches always densely 

 dotted with brown silky pul)escence, the main ones erecto-patent. Calyx ^ in., sub- 

 sessile, densely silky. Cwrolla twice the length of the calyx, the limb of the standard 

 not more than ^ in. broad, without any callosity at the base, the keel much shorter 

 than the other petals. Pod'^Uhl like that of D. lanceolaria,

 erect, leaflets 7-9 acute slightly pubescent heneath, flowers in congested 

 panicles, pedicels nearly obsolete, calyx-teeth obtuse, pod unknown.

A middle-sized erect tree, with fulvo-tomentose branchlets. Lmflds ovate-ollong 

 or obovate, 2-2^ in. long, thinly coriaceous, glabrous above. Panicle subcapitate, 

 with villose branches. Calyx glabrous, ^ in. Corolla white, a little longer than the
