OCTOBER 21, 1907] Some New LEGUMINOSAE 228 
straight glabrous pedicels 2 to 3 cm. long, 3 to 5-clustered 
on very Short tubercles arranged only toward the end of 
the rachis, loosely flowered, deciduous; banner 4 cm. long, 
the base abruptly contracted into a short claw and with a 
broad truncate spur, lanceolate oblong, the apex obtuse, 14 
mm. across just below the middle, streaked with light pur- 
ple, strongly reflexed; wings 2.5 cm. long, the lower one half 
developed into a very slender spur; the lamina oblong, 15 
mm. long, one half as wide, apex rounded, base with an ob- 
tusely rounded lobe, deeper purple striate; keels falcate, 4 
cm. long, about 5 mm. wide just above the middle, the 
basal portion slenderly tapering into a claw, the apex also 
slenderly tapering to a fine point, falsely united along the 
dorsal side and from the apex down to the middle; filaments 
glabrous or slightly pubescent toward the base, the free 
ends subequal, with hyaline margins; anthers 1 mm. long, 
versatile, 0.3 mm. wide, oblong; ovary slenderly stipitate, 
pubescent; style hyaline margined, about 5 cm. long; stigma 
small, finely ciliate. 
Type specimen 8540, A. D. E. Elmer, Baguio, Province 
of Benguet, Luzon, March, 1907. It is quite frequent in 
this vicinity but is chiefly confined to the limestone for- 
mation. It is distinguished from S. elmeri Merr., by its 
broader lower leaflets, by its more scattering inflorescent 
heads, flower not greenish blue but more of an atro-violaceous 
color and with its parts much larger,—the standard being 
twice as long. Named after Mr. Theo. C. Zschokke. 
Derris lianoides n. sp.— Tall tree climbers; stems and 
branches wiry and flexible; bark brown, covered with light- 
er colored lenticels. Leaves 2 dm. long, simple pinnate; 
petiole glabrous, subtended by 4 mm. long ovate bracts; 
petiolule subglabrous, 5 mm. long articulate; leaflets 3 to 
5 pairs, the terminal one somewhat larger, submembranous, 
light brown when dry, oblong to elliptic, 7 to 9-nerved, 
base rounded or acute, apex acute to acuminate, 7 cm. long, 
4 em. wide. Inflorescence chiefly along the branches beneath 
the leaves, similarly subtended by coriaceous subglabrous 
bracts, 7 to 14 cm. long, usually branched from near the 
base into 2 to 3 radially spreading spicate racemes, arising
