This species we have characterised from Roxburgh’s description and 
drawing: he represents the stamens diadelphous, but this may be a mistake, 
as he does the same in some other of his species of Robinia, where they are 
certainly monadelphous. Dr Graham in Wall. L. n. 5914, refers it to his 
Pongamia racemosa, from which genus the fruit removes it very widely.

the upper surface of the leaves clothed with a silky white or fulyous tomen- 
tum: branches flexuose : stipules linear-lanceolate : leaves pinnated ; leaflets 
1-6 pairs, or occasionally reduced to the terminal leaflet, oblong-oval, ter- 
minal one longest, the lower pair at the base of the petiole and smaller than 
the others; upper side glabrous, under white and tomentose: peduncles 
usually longer than the leaves, axillary, erect, bearing a short spike-like ra- 
ceme at the apex: calyx-segments subulate: flowers small, on pedicels 
shorter than the bracteas: vexillum silky: legumes flat, nearly straight, 
spreading, unilateral, 8-12-seeded.—Pers. syn. 2. p. 329 ; DC. prod. 2. p. 252 ;

e Linnæan plant in Hermann's herbarium belongs to our variety a; and 
Corresponds precisely with Wight's cat. n. 887; Roxburgh's drawing and 
Specimen of his Galega Heyneana is n. 891. A most beautiful but very va- 
Mable species: our specimens exhibit all the different gradations from sim- 
ple leaves to 6 pairs of leaflets ; indeed one individual before us has one 
leaf simple, while all the others are pinnated. T; Grahamii (Wight’s cat. n: 
881), seems always to have simple leaves, and they are occasionally more 
acute than in any of the other states ; but on it, other leaves present pre- 
cisely the same form as the accidental simple leaves in Wight's cat. n. 891; — 
(corresponding to Wall. L. n. 5631. a, c.) All the above forms agree ^ut 
€ character we have given ; thenervation and texture is the same: we have 
even found it almost impossible to separate them into varieties. T. coccinea, 
Wall.! L, n, 5633, differs principally from our species by the leaflets being 
obovate-retuse, and the raceme itself elongated. T. brachystachya, A z i 
pears to be closely allied, but the character given presents a very indefinite 
idea of the species. "i
