The plant i^ apparently niychic and not Pueraria, and seems to be allied to 
G. javanica Linn. I have examined the type of Pueraria warburgii in Herb. 
Berol., and find that the other specimens here cited closely match it. According 
to Perkins I. c, a closely allied, if not identical form, is found in Celebes.
