From this description it will be seen that our plant has all 
the characters of the genus Millettia, as established by Wight 
and Arnott in their excellent Prodr. F. 1. Penins. Ind. Or. 1, 
p. 263; to which I have only to add that the leaves, at least 
in the present species and in M. rubiginosa, of which our 
friend Arnott has kindly sent us a specimen, are by no means 
“unequally pinnated,” (if this term be meant to say as much 
as abruptly pinnated) as they are called by the authors.— - 
Thus a fine genus, of which two Indian species only were as 
yet known, is now also represented in the South East of | 
Africa, and thus we have another instance of the evident - 
affinity which the Flora of the tropical and subtropical parts 
of Africa, onthe East as well as on the West coast, bears 
with that of the East Indies.
