closely allied to M. decipiens Prain of the Malay Peninsula. 
5. Millettia cavitensis sp. nov. § Humillettia. 
Arbor glabra circiter 8 m alta; foliis imparipinnatis, usque ad 20 em - 
longis; foliolis 2- vel 3-jugatis, ovatis, oblongo-ovatis, vel elliptico- 
ovatis, submembranaceis vel chartaceis, basi rotundatis vel subacutis, 
apice valde acuminatis, utrinque nitidis; racemis elongatis, foliis sub- 
aequilongis, multifloris; floribus atropurpureis, 2 cm longis. . 
A glabrous tree about 8 m high. Branches terete, rather slender, 
gray or brownish, sometimes lenticellate. Leaves odd-pinnate, 16 to 20 
em long. Leaflets 2- or 3-jugate, ovate, oblong-ovate, or elliptic-ovate, 
6 to 10 em long, 2 to 4 em wide, submembranaceous or chartaceous, 
shining on both surfaces, the base rounded or subacute, the apex rather 
strongly and slenderly acuminate; nerves about 5 on each side of the 
midrib, somewhat ascending, not prominent, very obscurely anastomosing, 
the ultimate reticulations very fine, dense; petiolules 3 to 5 mm long. 
Racemes solitary, in the upper axils, about 15 cm long, many-flowered. 
Flowers dark-purple, their pedicels slender, 1 to 1.2 em long. Calyx 
cup-shaped, truncate, about 6 mm high, 7 to 8 mm in diameter. Standard 
somewhat pubescent outside, about 22 mm long, 16 mm wide, broadly 
ovate, the apex broad, rather strongly cleft, the base of the lamina with 
two cartilaginous callosities 2 mm wide and 1 mm long, the claw stout, 
4mm long. Ovary rather distinctly pubescent, containing about 6 ovules. 
-Vexillary filament free at the base, then united with the others for about 
two-thirds its length. Pods (immature) 10 cm long, 1.5 em wide, flat, 
somewhat wrinkled, gradually narrowed toward the base, the apex strongly 
acuminate, the acumen curved. 
Luzon, Province of Cavite, Maragondong, Merrill 4181, July, 1905, in forested 
ravines along a small stream, altitude about 250 m. 
Manifestly allied to the preceding species, differing in its less numerous, 
larger, more strongly acuminate leaflets, and by having flowers twice as large. 
6. Millettia foxworthyi sp. nov. § Eumillettia. 
Arbor glabra circiter 15 m alta; foliis imparipinnatis, circiter 8 cm 
longis; foliolis 3-jugatis, oblongo-ellipticis, chartaceis, 2 ad 4 cm longis, 
acutis vel obscure acuminatis, subtus pallidioribus; racemis axillaribus, 
foliis subaequalibus vel brevioribus; floribus circiter 1.5 em longis. 
A glabrous tree about 15 m high. Branches reddish-brown, lenti- 
cellate. Leaves odd-pinnate, about 8 cm long; leaflets 2- or 3-pinnate, 
oblong-elliptic, chartaceous, 2 to 4 cm long, 1.2 to 1.7 em wide, the base 
acute or rounded, the apex acute or somewhat acuminate, the lower 
surface much paler than the upper, both dull or only slightly shining 
when dry; nerves about 5 on each side of the midrib, not distinct, the 
reticulations subobsolete; petiolules about 4 mm long. Racemes in the 
upper axils, shorter than the leaves, rather many-flowered. Flowers
