sum, lineare, acutum, mucrone brevi recto terminatum (valvis inter

I have given rather a detailed description of this newly-discovered 
plant, because it differs from the genus as defined, in Wight and Arnott's 
Prodromus, in having no uncinate mucro to the pod, no partial stipules, 
and five leaflets; but I think it will be admitted that it is a species of 
Glycine, notwithstanding the whole structure of the flower is entirely 
that of G. labialis, with the exception of the sterile anthers of the 
latter. The legume is broader than in any other Glycine I have seen, 
while the flowers are only 23 lines long. 
I beg to take advantage of the present opportunity to correct an 
error I committed with respect to a leguminous plant from Canara, 
described in the second volume of this Journal, under the name of 
Pongamia Canarensis. Having since been fortunate in obtaining the ripe 
legumes (then unknown), I find that the plant is a second species of 
Brachypterum, and has the legume furnished with a short wing on both 
sides ; a third species of this genus is the Dalbergia marginata of Roxb. 
Flor. Ind., of which Pongamia Heyneana (Grah.), Wight and Arnott’s 
Prodromus, p. 263, is a synonym. This last climber is pretty common 
in this part of India, and I have found it both above and below the 
Ghauts.
