Avuausr 31, 1910] A New GENUS AND New SPECIES or LEGUMINOSAE 
the lower with the lateral sides very indistinctly dentate, 
rather thick; corolla white except the pink margins, half 
fleshy; banner 7.5 mm. long, nearly as wide above the middle, 
clawed at the base, broadly obovate and emarginate at the 
apex; wings fully as long, gradually tapering into a longer 
claw, the lamina oblong and with a rounded apex; keels also 
free except toward the apex, the lamina similar in shape but 
the claw slenderer, nearly 2 mm. shorter; stamens 10, the 
longer ones 6 mm. in length, the upper vexillary one short- 
est and only united with the others at the base; filaments 
glabrous, united for over one half their length, the free por- 
tion subequal in length; anthers elliptic, bifid at the base, 
1 mm. long, dehiscent longitudinally, attached to the con- 
nective which terminates in a rather conspicuous point; ovary 
subsessile, 3 mm. long, gradually terminating into the 3 mm. 
long style which is glabrous obove the middle and bearing 
a minute terminal stigma, subtended at the base by glands; 
young fruits falcate, flattened, widened toward the apex where 
they usually contain a solitary seed. 
Type specimen 11795, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, September, 1909. 
A lofty and powerful climber in a moist, fertile, densely 
forested basin at 4000 feet, south of the Baruring river. The 
Bagobo name is ''Balia". 
Some doubt exists as to its rightful genus, and it may 
prove an entirely new one when the nature of the fruits 
are known. 
DALBERGIA Linn. 
Dalbergia ferruginea daronensis Elm. n. var. 
The habit, foliage and flowers are almost exactly as in 
D. ferruginea Roxb. The chief difference, therefore, is only in 
the fruit which has fewer seeds, is acute at the apex and 
cuneate at the base, not rounded at both ends, nor upon as 
slender a stipe as in typical specimens.
